Congratulations to the Trimester 3 Honor Roll and High Honor students.
2B had a fantastic day "camping out"!! Thanks to all the parents who donated to our campout!!
Last day in D.C. for our 8th graders. Stops included the House of Representatives in the Capitol Building, Ford's Theater, and the Peterson house. We were fortunate the House was in session, and we were able to experience lobbying in action on the floor. No pictures were allowed to be taken in the House of Representatives. Then we said our goodbyes to our awesome course leader, Coach Earley. He shared a wealth of knowledge with our group!
MGS celebrated our track athletes headed to the IESA State Track Meet starting tomorrow. Best of luck to all our athletes! We are Redbirds!!!
6th grade students were challenged to create a free standing sculpture from just paper in art class.
4th grade was working on a sculpture challenge on the last day of art today.

Text Elizabeth Gualandri at 309-370-7750 and she will come in once a day to bag up what is yours and put the items in a labeled bag and send it to your kid's class. Include the row number and brief description of item you are missing. Also, include your kid's name and teacher's name. Unclaimed items will be donated at the end of Friday.

What an amazing first day 8th grade students had in Washington D.C.! We took in seeing 9/11 Memorial, The Archives (Constitution, Declaration, Bill of Rights), The Peoples House, White House, African American Museum, Washington Monument, World War II Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Korean Memorial and Einstein Memorial. And now we are off on day 2!
MGS 5th graders have had an eventful past 2 days. On Thursday, they graduated from the DARE program. Thank you to all parents and family members who were able to attend. A special THANK YOU to Ms. Trotter and Mrs. Gregait for all of the time they spent preparing our band and choir to perform. And a huge THANK YOU to Deputy Angela Holocker for taking such an interest in our students becoming the best citizens they can be.
Then today, 5th graders attended their DARE celebration at Grant Memorial Park in Washburn. A great time was had by all, and I do think several kids are going to be asking for Pickleball sets since that seemed to be the most popular activity today.
Thanks so much to our Recorders for the awesome assembly yesterday!
2B had a blast at our Fun Day today!!
ATTENTION: The PTO Pool Party planned for June 6th is being postponed to Friday, August 8th due to pool opening delays. FREE to all MGS students & families. Kona Ice & Swannee's Pretzel will join in on the FUN! Mark your calendars now!!
Thanks so much to the 5th Grade Band for performing at the DARE Graduation today! Well Done!
Thanks so much to the band for playing at graduation last night. You sounded great!
