*Attention 8th Grade Parents: Your child is fast approaching the end of his middle school years! He or she will soon begin a new era of his or her life – high school. We are asking MMS eighth grade parents to come together and help plan a grand send off for our students. In the past, the teachers have organized an eighth grade banquet as a celebration. This year’s students are asking for a cookout rather than a banquet. If you are willing and able to help plan this event, please meet in the school’s media center on Monday, April 18, at 5:00 pm.
