Four Weeks Flying By!
Can you feel it?! Four weeks to go, and so much in store. This week is the 8th annual Recycle & Read, so stop by the library and pick up some awesome free books! We also Art Week in the gym, so take a stroll through this limited gallery show and admire all the amazing student art work. We will cap off the week with the annual Spring Concert on May 20. See you soon!
Music of the Masters: Spring Concert on May 20!
In anticipation of this year's Spring Concert, "Music of the Masters", the following fifth grade groups will be performing at Morning Prayer for the week of 5/16.
Tuesday (5/17) - 5C will sing "Come Together" by the Beatles
Wednesday (5/18) - The Concert Choir will sing "Redemption Song" by Bob Marley
Thursday (5/19) - 5A will sing "Space Oddity" by David Bowie
Please drop your child off slightly earlier than usual. We would like to warm up at 7:50 am in the Morning Prayer area. Stick around to enjoy the performances - thanks!
8th Annual Recycle & Read This Week!
This Monday, May 1 through Thursday, May 19, Hodgins Library will sponsor the 8th Annual Recycle & Read Event, and everyone is invited to participate. Our Library Committee have sorted so many books - infant through adult - now on display on tables at the library during Recycle and Read. Parents, students, faculty and staff can stop by and pick up books to take home, free of charge. See you there!
Being On Time to Morning Prayer
Morning Prayer is the most important part of our day. Please show up on time and proceed immediately to the prayer area as soon as you hear the bell.
But what should I do if I am dropped off after 8am?
All students (and parents): If you arrive after the 8:00am bell, please proceed DIRECTLY to Morning Prayer without stopping first at advisories/homerooms. Take your items with you to the prayer area.
Yearbook Needs Your Photos!
The students in the yearbook elective are planning on putting together a digital album and need photos from the MJS community! If you have any photos taken on a camera or smart phone, please click here. You'll be taken to a page where you can upload photos to our MJS yearbook gallery and help us capture all events from April until June. If you have questions, please contact Ms. Cathy Lin (Yearbook Instructor). Thank you!
