Congratulations to Term 2 Honor Roll Students!
MMS students are programming their VEX robots to run autonomously. They're using a program called VEX Code which utilizes a visual drag and drop interface, allowing students to learn programming concepts without knowing the specific syntax of the underlying programming language.
This is a reminder to all 8th graders and their guardians. Tomorrow night at 6:00 is a parent meeting in the HS multipurpose room to discuss high school graduation pathways and endorsements for next year. The High School Counselors have asked that only the student and one guardian attend. No siblings and please wear a mask. We look forward to seeing you there.
MMS students worked hard on their Model UN projects for today's virtual competition. Model United Nations, also known as M.U.N., is an educational simulation and academic activity in which students can learn about diplomacy, international relations, and the United Nations. Stay tuned for award announcements!
