A big thank you to Mila W., one of our top fundraisers, for drawing our 1st $50 winner today!

Ever wonder what the money raised goes towards? This snack cart for October's Perfect Attendance is just one small example - but the kids definitely enjoy it! Thank you for supporting MMS this year!

This week's Hawk Proud SHOUT OUT goes to Cruz P! Cruz was recognized for willingly offering to help a classmate study for an upcoming test. Not only did he do a great job in asking questions to help prepare, but he also offered the other students tips to help him remember the correct answers! Way to go, Cruz!!

Congratulations to our students who finished on the top of the IXL Leaderboards for the month of October (by becoming proficient in math and ELA skills), but an even bigger shout out to ALL of the students who met their monthly goal of gaining at least 10 points in the diagnostic arena!

We had 120 students meet the monthly goal in math! This is 70% of our student body and an increase of 23 students from just last month!

We had 114 students meet the monthly goal in ELA! This is 68% of our student body and an increase of 17 students from August/September!

Keep growing, Hawks!

6th graders have been BUSY becoming proficient in IXL skills to ensure they gained possession of the "bragging rights" IXL trophies for the month! Mr. Britton's 4th hour 6th grade math class finished on top (after Mrs. Houser rubbed the trophy in their face last month!) with an average of 6.3 skills per student for the month of October. The ELA trophy was presented to Mrs. Moyer's 1st hour 6th grade English class which finished the month with an impressive average of 33.6 skills per student! Keep it up, Hawks!
