M.M.S. News & Notes
March 18, 2022
From the Principal
M.M.S. Parents and Guardians,
The beginning of spring sports season, daylight savings and the 3rd marking period ending in just TWO weeks are just a few reminders that spring has sprung at MMS. There are also plenty of activities which are in the planning stages including MiniThon, academic field trips, JA Yes! Program along with school-wide positive behavior opportunities to recognize kids for "doing the right thing."
Do not forget that tomorrow is an alternative learning day and Friday is a day off for the kids. These two days provide an excellent opportunity for each student to complete any outstanding work in anticipation of March 31 which marks the end of the marking period. You will also read below that we are in dire need of volunteers to help run our JA YES! Program. Please consider helping or share the information with someone you know who may be interested.
Have a great rest of your week and please let us know if you have any questions.
Joel Yohn, Principal
