October Is Here!

Wow! It is hard to believe that September is finished. This school year seems to be flying by. I had a great lunch on Wednesday with the 16 elementary students who completed the summer reading challenge. These students read 6 books over the summer from a variety of genres and wrote a short summary of each book. We had a great time on Wednesday eating lunch together and talking about books.

The varsity soccer team played an exciting game on Monday. Despite the cold, windy weather, they were able to win the game. The varsity volleyball team also had a victory on Thursday night. It was a great week for sports at MCS.

I hope that all of the students enjoyed their extra day off on Friday. The teachers spent the day learning from a curriculum taught by Jeff Myers. It was a very interesting seminar that I think many of them found beneficial. Hopefully, the students are all ready to come back to school!
