M.M.S. News & Notes
March 4, 2022
From the Principal
M.M.S. Parents and Guardians,
Good afternoon and Happy March! Spring is certainly right around the corner and we feel it at MMS in really positive ways. We have been discussing a multitude of ways to bring some fun back into the building as the weather is getting warmer and safety protocols have been modified. We have been working on things like grade level field trips, on-site team activities, mini-Thon, advisory activities and spring sports, etc.
Please be reminded March 31 is the end of the 3rd marking period - just 4 weeks away! We have been reminding the kids to keep up-to-date with their work and to seek out additional help from their teachers now instead of waiting. Do not hesitate to reach out to your child's teacher(s), grade level counselor and/or Assistant Principal. We are all here to support you and your child on this educational journey. I hope you have a fantastic weekend and thank you for the support you continue to provide MMS.
Joel Yohn, Principal
