Happy Thursday!
MCMS will have a prosperous 2010-2011 School Year.

Morning Student Drop-off – Students and parents this is just a reminder to arrive at school between 7:20-7:30 am each morning in front of the school. This is for the safety of our children during the rush time in the morning. Thanks for your help in this matter.

Make A Difference Campus Clean Up/Join Us – Saturday, October 23rd from 9:00 -11:30 am.
*Make A Difference Day will be Saturday, October 23, 2010. This is a program endorsed by our Governor and has become the nation’s largest day of volunteering in many ways.
In North Carolina, our Governor wants Make A Difference Day to focus on schools, and on the state level has partnered with the NC Commission on Volunteerism and Community Service, AmeriCorps programs and members, nonprofits, faith-based organizations, National Service programs and the business community.
*MCMS will participate in this initiative with a campus clean up morning from 9-11:30. Together, students, staff, and parents will clean up our school grounds. Activities will include raking, trimming, weeding, power washing and painting and other projects.
*We encourage all staff members and families to participate and Make A Difference at MCMS! Please bring your own garden gloves, tools, rakes, etc. Our school has one power washer and we could use a few more.
Please let Dr. Kreuser know if you plan to bring your own to use so that we can make arrangements ahead of time with hoses and water connections.
