Summer Read = The BATTLE 2010
This year, the Summer Reading committee along with commentary from the students decided to host the battle between Guys and Gals. Our Summer Read consists of a guy title: Stormbreaker by Anthony Horowitz and a gal title: I'd Tell You I Love You But Then I'd Have to Kill You by Ally Carter. Both of these reading adventures curtail the lives of the secret spy world. Are you man enough to try the gal title? Are you woman enough to try the guy title? Make sure you read one of the titles, and for a stronger chance of victory, read both titles. Be ready to BATTLE it out come August 2010 and be ready for some spy missions of your own. Oh, the possibilities...
Get your copy now at school during your lunch hour for $5. We ordered limited copies. Local book stores are carrying the titles, and some will provide you with a discount if you mention you are a MCMS student.

Warrior Heir Committee
Warrior Heir Committee will meet Wednesday, June 2, Thursday, June 3 until 4:30. They will meet Friday, June 4 until 3:45 and Monday, June 7 until 4:30. They need to arrive Tuesday, June 8 at 7:15 am. Parents of committee members should plan to help if available.

Birdhouses for Sale - Buy a birdhouse and help our feathered friends and our school! Students from Ms. Lawrence and Mr. Butlers classes are making and selling birdhouses in order to raise funds for classroom materials and supplies. Not only are our students learning a hands-on approach to building but they are giving our feathered friends a nice home and raising money for their classrooms. The bird houses are on sale for $20. If you are interested in purchasing a bird house, please contact Ms. Lawrence or Mr. Butler at the school by calling 252-726-1126.

Bright Ideas – What a Bright idea! The MCMS Office is selling CFLs (Compact fluorescent light bulbs) for $2.00 each. Most stores sell them for $4.00 to $6.00 each, so this is a quite a deal. We have 75 and 100 watt bulbs available, and 100% of the funds from this fundraiser stay with MCMS. Please see any staff member in the office to purchase your CFLs today!
