MGS has officially launched our Beanstack site: https://mgsredbirds.beanstack.com/reader365 What is Beanstack? Beanstack is a web and mobile app used to track independent reading time, and help build a culture of reading in school and at home. Beanstack makes it easier for you to help kids track reading, keep kids motivated to read, and provide feedback and insights into the reading habits at our school. Beanstack is linked through Clever. When students log in to their account Beanstack will be listed under more apps. Please see the flyers for step-by-step guides to logging your student's minutes and how to download the app.

Congratulations to the Marching Band and Colorguard on your outstanding performance in the Homecoming Parade last week! You looked and sounded great!
MGS dance team had a blast at the homecoming parade with our little miss and mister Metamora.
What an outstanding day at MGS! "THE MAN IN THE BLACK CHUCKS" was such an amazing speaker. Getting students to empower each other, building positive self talk, and supporting each other as we build a positive school culture. The 5-8 students gave him a standing ovation at the end. I also loved to see classes paired up with their buddies and connecting with older and younger students! Great way to end our week!
Thanks so much to the marching band and color guard for performing for our softball team. You looked and sounded awesome! Good Luck at STATE! Go Birds! 🥎❤️🏆
