Discovering DC: 8th Grade Adventures in the Nation's Capital
MMS 8th Grade Activities - Supe's Exotic Animals
7th Grade Field Trip - DEADLINE APRIL 23
We are excited for the 7th grade field trip on May 21st. Just a reminder that permission slips and payment are due to your students' science teacher by Tuesday, April 23rd. If your student is in need of financial assistance, please contact Genna Butterfield at butterfieldg@slcs.us.
We are also still looking for chaperones. If you are interested in chaperoning, please fill out that portion of the permission slip, complete the volunteer background check online, and submit your payment with your student's permission slip. If you have already indicated that you would like to be a chaperone, but have not submitted your payment, please do so before April 23rd.
M-STEP Math 6/7 and M-STEP Science/SS 8
In the morning on Wednesday, April 24th, all MMS students will be taking the M-STEP.
Please remind your student to bring the following to school with them on Wednesday:
- fully charged Chromebook
- Chromebook charger
- earbuds or headphones with a cord (Bluetooth will not work for the M-STEP)
- a book to read if they finish the assessment early
In the morning, students will report to their testing room, which is the same room there were in on April 10th. The lists are still posted around the school. Maps with testing rooms can be found here.
After the M-STEP, 6th & 7th grade students will be following a modified schedule after testing. 8th grade students will enjoy a presentation from the 52-1 District Court.
Teacher Appreciation
MMS PTO will be celebrating our amazing staff the week of May 6th through 10th.
We're asking for donations of supplies for our Teacher Shop Event that will take place that week as well as donations of gift cards to go along with a Thank You note at the end of the week.
Amazon Wishlist:
https://www.amazon.com/hz/wishlist/ls/VO15V63BXLZY?ref_=wl_share
If you select items from the Amazon wish list, please send them to the address provided *OR* you may drop them off at MMS. Our team will collect donated items and store them ahead of our celebration.
Gift card donations should be in $20 increments. We have found the best options are food (Subway, Culvers, Taco Bell, Starbucks, etc.), shopping (Amazon, Target, Barnes & Noble, Walmart, etc.), and local establishments (Venue, Lemon Tree, South Lyon Hotel, Corner Social, etc.).
Don't have time to shop? No problem! You can also donate using the PTO Venmo (@MMS-PTO-2) and we'll fill in any open needs. Please indicate "staff appreciation" in the memo line of your donation.
Deadline for donations is Friday, May 3rd so we have time to shop for any remaining needs.
As always, we couldn't run these events without your participation. We love celebrating these amazing educators for a whole week and we appreciate all you're able to give to make it an awesome event each year.
Please reach out to Christine Kaczkowski (kaczkowskic@slcs.us) with any questions or concerns.
