We had a packed house for the spring band concert this afternoon. The beginner band and 7th & 8th grade bands have worked very hard and performed several great pieces! Grace M., Eleanor M., & Emy W., this year's ILMEA All-District band participants, performed Swing Low, Sweet Chariot together. Excellent job to all our MMS musicians!
We had a great afternoon with the 5th graders on our campus. They got to hear the MHS band perform, had a lot of questions answered during a Q&A session, and took a tour of the building. They especially liked finding their names on the welcome bulletin board our MJHS created!
41 students qualified for the end-of-year AR movie incentive. These readers were treated to Del's popcorn, candy & a drink. Per 8th grade Advanced Lit request, we enjoyed Kung Fu Panda 4 on the big screen!
