Good Afternoon MCMS Families!

Happy Friday!  We hope you and your family are doing well this week.  We finished another busy week at MCMS with several fun events for our students.  We had Field Studies, Pep Rallies, Basketball games, and Band Concerts, it is great having so many enriching activities for our students to enjoy.  We are now days away from the end of the first half of the school year and getting to our well deserved Winter Break.  We look forward to a strong finish and getting some extra rest during the holiday season!

We only have 3 more Dress Days Until Winter Break!  We look forward to seeing great outfits!

Mindset of the Week- 100% Accountable

The 100% Accountable Mindset teaches the importance of being responsible for our own happiness and success.  Being 100% Accountable means deciding not to be victims of the past and recognizing that the future is not predetermined, so our lives are what we choose in the present moment and each moment moving forward. 

7 Mindsets

Live to Give December- Angel Tree

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 Angel Tree.
