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- Poverty Awareness

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 Poverty Awareness.
