Principal's Perspective
Hello Muir families and welcome to Semester 2! It is hard to believe we are more than half way through the year. Enjoy scrolling through our latest Colts Corner to see all the great things happening at Muir. I am so proud of the work our staff is doing to ensure a great educational experience for our students. I am constantly blown away by the things our students do in the classroom, in clubs, teams and outside of school. Parents thank you for your continued support this year as well. We truly believe that we are at our best when we work together for our kids. As always we will strive to be Motivated, Understanding, Innovative and Relentless. We are MUIR!
7th and 8th Grade NJHS Students visit with local seniors
Muir 7th and 8th grade NJHS students spent time on Sunday, January 15th at the local Medilodge, providing arts and crafts for the residence. Students and residence enjoyed cookie decorating and button tree painting. All of the students were incredibly respectful and attentive to those that they worked with and very much enjoyed their conversation and time with their elders.

Huge Shout Out to Mr. Dvorin!
Mike Dvorin is a 7th and 8th grade science teacher at Muir, who does an amazing job making connections with his students. Mr. Dvorin comes in early and stays late. He works very hard to make sure students understand the curriculum. He goes above and beyond to help his students during his off hours. Mr. Dvorin is also a team player. Teachers can always count on him to sub during his conference hour when subs are not available. The most wonderful aspect of Mr. Dvorin that has been noticed this year is how he has made adjustments for his students with special needs. His daily communications with parents and teachers to ensure positive student learning has not gone unnoticed!
Thanks for being YOU, Mr. Dvorin.

Crafty Time
Ms. Ryan's 6th grade ELA Foundations class spent some time with Ms. Spellicy's class to create creatures or snowpersons as a fun interactive way to expand their imaginations. Ms. Ryan's students had to design, lesson plan, teach and trouble shoot for any possible problems that the other students may face while enjoying this activity. Great job to everyone involved!
8th Grade Theatre Class
8th Graders did an amazing job presenting their "A Crown Does Not A Princess Make" at MHS on Thursday, January 19th! It was very exciting to put the show all together and see the kids do a spectacular job in front of their friends and family members. A big shout out to Mrs. Doggett and all that she does to make these productions come to life!

Thank you to Jack, Audrina, Griffin, Olivia, Owen and Sam for creating and organizing the "Share the Warmth" clothing drive. These students, along with the support of Ms. Ryan and Ms. Pinter, put together a successful winter clothing drive to help those in need. Students and their parents delivered all the donated clothing to a shelter in Pontiac. We couldn't be more proud of these students! They are MUIR!
