MMS Connections

Dear Families,

This week is Teacher Appreciation Week! Check out our Facebook page for pictures of our teacher breakfast earlier this week. In the newsletter below, we are also featuring our new McFarland News show that features some fun our teachers recently had with the students. Please join us in thanking all the hard-working teachers at McFarland!

Our Publishing class has a new format for sharing the news about McFarland. See the video below for the most recent episode of this fun show where students are experimenting with green screens, interviews, and funny special effects. The second video features our MMS Track & Field Home Meet. Mr. Smith and this group of students also publishes our school newspaper and the yearbook!

We are planning some special things for promotion this year. Students are voting on some options for the ceremony's theme and we will also have a special 8th grade BBQ lunch that will happen on June 13th after both ceremonies are over. Please see below for details on which ceremony your student will be in. We also have order information if you'd like to buy a promotion T-shirt. The design was voted on by the students and the deadline for orders is Friday May 20. Please go to Nicamdzines.com for more information.

We will be hosting two separate ceremonies in the gym, the first at 8:30 a.m. and the second at 10:00 a.m. Students will be assigned to one of the ceremonies based on their advisory class, much like we did last year. Students will receive 4 tickets to give to family members who want to watch them get their certificates. If a family cannot attend, both ceremonies will be live-streamed on YouTube.

Find your student's advisory teacher's name below to know which ceremony they will be in.

Our publishing class puts out the annual yearbook as well as the Mustang Minute newspaper. This year's yearbook is a fantastic collection of full-color photos of all 7th and 8th graders as well as ALL sports teams - even spring sports!

Yearbooks are $30 and can be purchased in the office or with the link below. Yearbooks will be delivered to students before the end of the school year.
