Metamora Grade School

Our 5th grade students spent some time today making our sidewalks a little brighter with positive messages for students to see as they enter the building!

What an effort by the MGS Softball team tonight with another win over Washington Middle! Great job tonight ladies and good luck tomorrow!

Happy First Friday of the year! What an amazing week! It has been so great to see students and staff back in the building and interacting with each other. There have been so many happy faces this week as students to adjust to new grade, new teachers, and new curriculum.

Next week, teachers will really begin to get into a regular routine with our first full week. Hopefully the students and staff get time to rest, relax, and rejuvinate this weekend. Have a great weekend and we look forward to another amazing week at MGS! We Are Redbirds!

Is your 5th grader interested in playing in the band??? 5th Grade Band Rental and Sign up will be held on Thursday, August 21 from 3-7pm in the MGS Main Gym Foyer.

The Snyder Village Benefit Online Auction is coming up very soon on Saturday, September 6th! We are kicking things off next weekend on Saturday, August 23rd with a Benefit Porkchop Cookout at Kirby Foods in Metamora. Thank you for your support.

Big thank you to the MGS Dance and Cheer team for helping our younger students find their classrooms during arrival on the first day back to school! We love seeing our jr. high students helping our younger students learn how to be a Redbird!

Kg Families, The PTO is cancelling the social meet mop up for today, August 10th on the MGS playground. With the rain amounts we have had, the continuing sprinkling, and future forecast it is the safest call.  We apologize and look forward to tomorrow's Back2School Night.

The August Redbird Review had wrong information in it. Please note that the Open House is on Monday August 11th not tonight as it originally mentioned. Sorry for any confusion this might have caused.
