Hey MMS! Hope you’ve all had a great weekend. A huge thank you to Mrs. Felder and the PBIS committee for hosting our first ever Dance A Thon! We danced, we ate, we met Ms. Gronau’s adorable kids, we greeted Mr. Patterson, we gave away an iPad -- what fun! Thanks to all of the staff and parents and students who showed up and participated. Here’s what’s going on this week …
