Feels like fall! Busy week for all of our students. Parent-teacher conferences are Thursday evening or Friday morning. No school on Friday. We hope to see you there! Book fair will be set up at the elementary.
We are also looking for someone to sit in our high school morning science classes and proctor students!
Parents/guardians: Just a reminder F.A.S.T training will be September 14th for students in grades 10-12. A letter was sent home with your students last week. On September 15th, student health checks for grades K-4, 7, and 10 will be conducted. A letter and form were sent home last week, and only need to be returned if you do not want your child to participate in the height and weight. Vision and dental checks have to be completed unless we have documentation submitted to the school by tomorrow.
We are looking for some special individuals to join our community here at MCS! Interested or have any questions? Please call the school and reach out to Superintendent Pritchard, or email her at apritchard@mcstryon.org

Thursday morning, we finished up district testing, so in the afternoon we gave students a chance to come together and celebrate with game day. Students brought games to share and play together. We also shared popsicles and watermelon as a sweet treat. Here are a few moments captured. More to come!
On Tuesday, we had district testing going on in the morning. The students worked hard, so they were rewarded with a water STEM afternoon. Students were put into teams to create water bottle rockets and water bombs. Then we went to the football field and launched rockets using water in the bottles and compressed air. Students then had a water fight using their water bombs. Lastly, we had water relays. It was a great day to cool off from the hard work they have put in. Here are a few snapshots from the day. Stay tuned for more to come!
Hello! Going to start youth volleyball practice this coming Saturday on 9/5 from 10-12 at the Stapleton gym. If we find that the day/times don’t work for most, we can try to adjust. Thank you!

An impromptu lesson Mrs. Anderson taught Friday morning.
