From Mrs. Husson
Merger
Throughout the merger process, I have committed to keeping the community informed and I am sure you have heard by now the outcome of the vote on September 23rd. Our board of education made the unanimous decision to not move forward with the merger process. It is important to recognize that the decision that was made was in the best interest of our students and our school community as a whole. The feasibility study provided valuable insights into our district and its strengths as well as areas that we need to continue to focus on. I commend both boards for initiating this discussion and engaging the community in contemplating the future of our schools. I appreciate the community's participation in this process as well. As we always have, let’s continue as we move forward to keep our students the center of our positive changes and decisions at MCS. As we continue to work with our JCS neighbors to support our merged athletic teams and begin to work on collaborative ways to provide opportunities for our students. Let’s continue to stay positive and open-minded. Regardless of each person's own opinion, we need to continue to do what we have always done to make our school small but special.
Open House
Thank you so much to all our families and community that came out last night for the Elementary Soccer Game, Open House, and the Class of 2026 Spaghetti Dinner!!! It was so wonderful to see so many of our MCS families in the building!!
Athletics
Our soccer and cross-country teams had a great fall season! Sectionals began at the end of October. Please see the school's Facebook page for updates!
