MMS Activities
MMS 8th Grade Earth and Environmental Science classes attend a class on sustainable communities at the Coastal Studies Institute.
Chromebooks were issued to all students who had returned the proper paper work. Teachers and students are very excited about the doors this will open when they are used in the classroom. (Please make sure your student has their Chromebook.)
Congratulations to the 7th and 8th grade drama classes on an amazing program. Thursday evening , 1/14, the drama classes presented a great program for parents and friends, if you missed this keep an eye out for our talent show coming in the spring.

The 5 teams are working hard as they prepare for the competition. We are still in need of adults to train as judges. Contact Ms. Spinella if you would like to participate in this program.
AIG
New interest groups are forming, it is an exciting time as students branch out to new territory. Keep an eye out for our parent meeting date and AIG fair that will be held Feb.
Rachel Challenge
The Mix-Up lunch day was a big success. The students loved being able to share their lunch time in seats of their choice and with friends. We hope to continue this throughout the year and perhaps even expand on this event as we move into spring.
6th
The excitement level is very high in 6th grade as they were issued Chromebooks on Friday. The teachers have planned a typing exercise using a free program to help students master typing on their laptops.
8th
Students who attended the class at CSI were very excited to use the amazing equipment to view plankton that was collected that morning.
The students are getting more and more excited about the Sea to Mountain trip. We had a meeting in the forum where payment dates were discussed. (If you have difficulty making the dates listed please contact Ms. Simmons so arrangements can be worked out.) The trip is an exciting fun time for all!
