Elementary and middle school girls enjoyed working on skills at volleyball camp with the MHS team this week!

Our Hawks worked hard to finish the year strong. Congratulations to all our middle school students who made 4th quarter Academic Honors!

We have a middle school assistant volleyball coaching opportunity for next year.

If you have an incoming 6th - 8th grader interested in trying out for the MMS baseball team, put these dates on your calendar & join SportsYou for updates!

4th Quarter/2nd Semester grades are finalized and posted on TeacherEase. To access the report card through the app, go to More (bottom right) --> Report Cards.

We are proud of our students for finishing the year strong during the month of May on IXL. Congratulations to those who were on the Math and ELA leaderboards! Students will continue to have access to IXL over the summer. This is a great way for them to continue to work on skills to prepare for next year. A summer leaderboard has been created for students to continue to compete until school resumes in August!

Next year's 6th - 8th grade girls interested in playing basketball for MMS are encouraged to attend the scheduled open gyms this summer!

We still have a few teaching and coaching opportunities available for next school year!

It is hard to believe that the last day of the 24/25 school year is tomorrow! It is a 1:30 p.m. dismissal for the Macon Campus. We are looking forward to the end-of-year activities planned for the different grade levels!

Our students who "maxed out" this year on IXL were treated to Mattie's for lunch with Mrs. Rhoades!
