The 2nd grade Buy-a- Share was today. We had a great time playing kickball and eating lunch together! However, I think their favorite part was getting a little wet playing drip, drip, splash!




Congratulations to Max Ioerger who is this year's recipient of the MGS Music Boosters Band Camp Scholarship! Max will be attending Band Camp at Western Illinois University this summer. Special thanks to our Music Boosters for ALL they do to support our program!!



3rd grade enjoyed their pizza party purchased from the Glo Bingo auction.


2B had a fantastic field trip to The Children's Discovery Museum and Fairview Park today! So glad the rain stayed away.




Great Job on the Recorder Assembly 4th Grade!!!



Today these lucky students enjoyed a ride to school by Officer Cummings! They were the top bidders on this Glo Bingo silent auction item!



We heard through the grapevine that the playground at MGS may be experiencing an upgrade in the future. In honor of this, students in 5A and 5B took part in a STEM challenge in which they had to design their dream playground using ONLY paper and tape. We hope these models inspire any future changes to the playground!




2B enjoying a day of camping!




The alphabet countdown to the end of the school year has been full of excitement in kindergarten. Hands on learning experiences are engaging and meaningful for these little ones!
