Last night we were able to celebrate our 8th grade girls, as their regular season begins to come to an end.

This year's 8th grade basketball players are: Caitlin Burgess, Hayden Crist, Jensen Dawson, Zada Dudley, Bella Durbin, Ella Hilton, Khloe Leffler, Attison McNeely, and statistician, Aleeah Armour.

Finish the season strong, girls!

This week's Hawk Proud SHOUT OUT goes to Jensen D! Jensen's willingness to help out definitely doesn't go unnoticed. From jumping in to help clean up after the MES Veteran's Day program to being one of the last kids hanging around while picking up after any sporting event, we appreciate the young leader that she is!

The Kona Ice truck will be here on Friday for one of our fall fundraiser incentives! We had 50 students sell at least 15 raffle tickets to qualify for the Kona Ice. We are looking forward to warmer weather and a sweet treat to finish up the week!

Another $50 raffle winner was drawn by one of our top fundraisers - Sloane B. Congratulations to today's lucky winner - Kevin Kirby! Thank you for supporting MMS and our fundraising efforts this year!

Tonight is PACK THE PLACE night for our Lady Hawks! Make plans to come out to support the girls' basketball program when they take on the Sangamon Valley Storm starting at 6:00 p.m. Our 8th graders will be recognized with their parents between games. Students going on this year's Washington DC trip will also have walking tacos available to purchase, a 50/50 raffle, and half court challenge during half time. Come hungry and loud to cheer on the Lady Hawks at one of their final home games of the season! Go Hawks!

Our boys kicked off their home opener last night vs AO. Both the 7th and 8th grade captured wins.

The 8th grade squad came back from being down earlier in the game. Last minute free-throws sealed the deal. Free-throws win games (and defense...lol)!

The new cheer team made their debut and kept a fantastic basketball vibe all night!
