What an amazing first day 8th grade students had in Washington D.C.! We took in seeing 9/11 Memorial, The Archives (Constitution, Declaration, Bill of Rights), The Peoples House, White House, African American Museum, Washington Monument, World War II Memorial, Vietnam Memorial, Lincoln Memorial, Korean Memorial and Einstein Memorial. And now we are off on day 2!
MGS 5th graders have had an eventful past 2 days. On Thursday, they graduated from the DARE program. Thank you to all parents and family members who were able to attend. A special THANK YOU to Ms. Trotter and Mrs. Gregait for all of the time they spent preparing our band and choir to perform. And a huge THANK YOU to Deputy Angela Holocker for taking such an interest in our students becoming the best citizens they can be.
Then today, 5th graders attended their DARE celebration at Grant Memorial Park in Washburn. A great time was had by all, and I do think several kids are going to be asking for Pickleball sets since that seemed to be the most popular activity today.
Thanks so much to our Recorders for the awesome assembly yesterday!
2B had a blast at our Fun Day today!!

The grounds of MGS just got a bit shadier! Fifth graders decided to raise money for a Community Service Project, and because they raised so much money, we were able to complete 2 different projects. The first was the donation of 50 Birthday Boxes to local food pantries, and the second was the planting of trees at MGS. Three new sunrise maple trees were planted- 2 on the north side of the school and 1 on the playground area. A big THANK YOU to Brandt Barr and Barr Landscaping for working so quickly to get the trees planted before our 5th graders left for the summer.
MGS 8th grade students celebrated the end of the year today with their class trip to Six Flags! Great times had by all and beautiful weather! Bugs Bunny even got in the photo!
