In honor of Black History Month, our students have been enjoying learning about a prominent African-American each morning on our daily news. These Americans have contributed to our collective good, and we are appreciative of and celebrate their accomplishments. This week, we have focused on political figures. Patience Webb, a 7th grader at MMS, has used her digital art talents to create unique images of some of these individuals. Please enjoy viewing a selection of her work on our live feed and facebook page. Pictured are: General Colin Powell, current Vice-President Kamala Harris, former Secretary of State Condoleezza Rice, and former President Barack Obama.

Tomorrow is the deadline to turn in field trip money and permission slips for the skating trip! Sack lunches WILL BE PROVIDED by the school, but students are also welcome to bring their own lunch.
