This week, McPherson County 7th grade English students are working on their Greek mythology unit. They are currently reading The Lightning Thief for their novel study.
Good, breezy afternoon! I wanted to remind parents that if your student needs to ride the Stapleton bus after sports practice to North Platte, jr. high or high school, that MCS needs to be contacted in advance, by 8:00 a.m., so we can let Stapleton know. This is for non-regular riders. If your child rides regularly, then we have that list. Stapleton's North Platte after school bus is pretty full and can only accommodate a few extra riders. Thank you for your cooperation.
Another strong week of activities and opportunities for our students and staff!
The McPherson County 7th grade English class finished their novel presentations this week. They are now working on their Greek mythology movie/short story assessments with puppy encouragement and snuggles.
