We want to give a huge thank you to Whitmore Ace, Morris Walmart, Cutting Edge Lawn to Landscaping, and A. Clubb Lawn Care and Landscaping for donating materials for our Plant the Promise campaign!
As part of Red Ribbon Week, our Preschool through 5th grade classes each planted flower bulbs to “plant their promise” — a promise to make healthy choices and live drug-free.
This hands-on activity gave students the chance to learn, reflect, and take action together. When the flowers bloom in the spring, they’ll serve as a beautiful reminder of the promises our students made and how positive choices continue to grow over time
We loved seeing the excitement and teamwork from our students as they planted together!
Check out a few photos from the week below!

On Friday, October 3, our talented 8th grade band students had an unforgettable experience as they traveled to MCHS to join the high school band for the night’s football game! They had the chance to march and perform during MCHS's pregame festivities and then played alongside the high school band in the stands, adding their energy to the game’s atmosphere. It was a fantastic opportunity for them to get a taste of high school band life and show off their skills!
DON'T FORGET...It is Family Book Fair Night! You will not want to miss the great selection and seeing our very own Dr. Stover read in our Festive Fall Free-Read Area!
