REMINDER FROM THE SCHOOL RESOURCE OFFICER
Reminder: Students who are being transported to/from school by parents/guardians should be dropped off and/or picked up in the cafeteria parking lot. Students should NOT be dropped off along Manor Drive or in the auditorium parking lot as this disrupts morning bus traffic. For a visual, see the map at this link.

MCMS HOLIDAY FOOD DRIVE RESULTS
Our annual Holiday Food Drive wrapped up with an incredibly close finish and an amazing display of generosity from our students and families. After counting every item, 6th grade narrowly edged out 7th grade with 678 donated items to 675 — a difference of just three items!
Given how close the competition was and the outstanding effort from both grades, all 6th and 7th grade students earned a popcorn reward to enjoy during their holiday movie afternoon.
Thank you to everyone who donated and helped support our community this holiday season. The photos below highlight just how full our collection bins became and the big impact our students made together!
