The MES classroom holiday parties were full of fun, friendship, and new memories!
Winter break is here! ❄️❄️
The junior high hosted a fantastic holiday celebration for our 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders this morning! There were performances by the bands, orchestras, choir and poms as well as a sing-a-long. We even had a visit from a special someone from the North Pole!
Our principals wish you a wonderful holiday season! Who do you think has the best spirit? 🎄 🎁 ❄️
MIS students were full of holiday cheer this week!
Mrs. Martin's 8th grade US History classes created famous landmarks with a gingerbread-house twist! Can you guess what they are?
