Reminder through May 1st MGS will be collecting aluminum pop tabs! You can help us make a difference by collecting pop tabs. Tell family, friends, co-workers and everyone else that you are collecting pop tabs for the Ronald McDonald House. Turn-in the pop tabs in zip-lock bags to your homeroom teacher. Each MGS classroom will have their own 5 gallon bucket for collections! Let’s see how fast we can fill the classroom’s bucket up! All area schools are competing for bragging rights on which school collects the most for the Ronald McDonald House! Schools include: MGS, GHMS, MTHS, and St. Mary's.

Olympic Curling came to room 62 today! For science, 5B and 5D engineers learned about the science of curling, from pebbled ice, to creating a water layer by sweeping, to the amount of a rock's surface coming in contact with the ice. Then using only limited resources (constraints), they created a model of a stone that they could use to enter our Olympic competition. The winners were Green Bananas (5D) and Starbucks Lovers (5B). Awards ceremony is on Tuesday! 🏅

Reminder tomorrow, February 13th will be an early dismissal day (11:30AM) and there will be no school on Monday February 16th.
