Weekly Happenings

MCS will be hosting a Fun Run on October 3rd. Students will have 30 minutes to complete as many laps as possible around our course set up. Students will receive prizes for the most laps ran, the most money raised and for having the most school spirit! So be sure to wear your MCS swag on Wednesday!

All of the funds collected will go to the MCS Parent Action Team. If students are able to raise $2018, Mr. B will dress us as a princess riding a unicorn and will sing a song for our students!
