Hello MMS! 

****THE PRINCIPAL’S CORNER**** 
Please click HERE for this week’s message from Ms. Gronau.
 
There is a lot going on this week in the district and at MMS! We wanted to remind you of a few important dates, updates and general happenings this week.
We also wanted to take a short moment to shine light on the past week at MMS, where the Week of Respect culminated in two assemblies titled The myFace Wonder Project, which is based on The New York Times bestseller, Wonder by R.J. Palacio. We worked in collaboration with the MMS administration and Youthnet, to bring The myFace Wonder Project team to the school. The goal of The myFace Wonder Project is to educate children and young adults on the importance of having compassion, celebrating uniqueness, and always choosing to be kind. Our students will also participate in an all grades assembly on Friday of this week, entitled POINT OF VIEW!, designed to help give students a new perspective on the differences that separate them from their peers, their parents, and the others who are around them.  
Lastly, if you are able to attend Middle School Curriculum Night and/or the OPEN HSA meeting this week, we strongly encourage you to come out and represent MMS families. It is budget season and MMS needs our active voices and involved parents to ensure our MMS students’ needs are met. Thanks in advance for your support!
