Parents

Art Fest is March 26th

MMS will be having the annual Art Fest on Friday, March 26th. In order for this to work, we need lots of help. Please contact school or your PTA to let them know you can help. We can't wait to see just what is in store for us this year!!!
Survey Research
We have started our survey research project. The students have picked some really interesting topics. I am looking forward to see what we find out about each. Please put the GREEN timeline that went home last week somewhere visible as a reminder of the due dates. We will be working on a lot of it in class but there will be things to complete at home. Thanks.

Have a restful and hopefully sunny spring break.
Thanks.
