8th GRADE PASSAGES - This week - April 2, 3, and 5
Students need to practice their presentation as much as possible. Ask them to practice with family members and friends. The more they practice, the more confident they are. We are extremely excited for our students to share their middle school journey with everyone. They are such amazing kids with so much talent. = Attached is a rubric that will be used by panelists to score each presentation.

MGMS ROBOTICS TEAMS - Help them fundraise!
The MGM Robotics teams were on fire again this season, with all three teams advancing to state. The Gator Gears team earned 2nd place at state and will be traveling to the Arkansas Razorback International Robotics competition.
We are raising money to send the team to represent MGM in May at this international competition. Please consider making a donation through our GoFundMe page and passing this on to others in the Lexington community. Thank you for supporting our Robotics teams!
