After about 9 hours of IAR/ISA testing, kids in 5B and 5C got to spend Friday visiting the "IAR"Bucks Board Game Cafe. It was so much fun, and the kids practiced ordering their breakfast treats as if they were at a real cafe. A lot of fun was had playing board games and enjoying their cafe treats.







Thank you to all the students, and the MGS Education Foundation, who helped duct tape Mr. Dirks to wall today! Your donations will help provide valuable materials for teachers in their classrooms! Mr. Dirks fell off the wall before we could get a group picture 😔
