Mindset of the Week- Passion First

7 Mindsets Image
The Passion First Mindset teaches us that we are all unique expressions of human existence. It’s vital to find out what our individual strengths and talents are so that we might connect them with our goals and visions for the future. In this mindset, we work with students to understand their unique gifts, their skills and strengths, and how to share them with the world to the maximum extent possible. Not only will they explore their interests, they will begin to identify their core values and what they stand for. 

The next step is helping them learn how to make their dreams into reality, tapping into both the courage and perseverance needed to overcome any challenges they encounter in pursuit of the lives they desire.

Live to Give November- Canned Food Drive

Can Food Drive
One of our 7 mindsets is Live to Give.  The main focus of this mindset is about serving others.  As a school, we feel it is important to model this idea and life quality for our students.  Each month MCMS will focus on one or more causes to bring awareness too.  This month our Live to Give cause will be a Canned Food Drive.

MCMS Veterans Day Assembly

We look forward to our annual Veterans Day Assembly on Thursday, November 9, 2023. Veterans will be served a hot breakfast beginning at 7:30 AM in the cafeteria and the annual ceremony will commence at 8:15 AM in the Big Gym. The ceremony will last approximately one hour.

Thanksgiving Family Lunch - 11/16

Please sign up for lunch on the Thanksgiving Family Lunch Sign Up Form.  We look forward to having you on campus for a Family Lunch!

Take time throughout the week to have your child show you their classes in Schoology.  See what they are learning and the topics they have covered.  We appreciate your involvement and engagement in the education process.
