A Message From Our Principal, Mrs. Guillory:
MBMS students are awesome because of their dedication, inquisitiveness, and the positive energy they bring to our learning community. Together, we create an environment where everyone can thrive and excel if they put forth the effort. Keep up the great work! Finally, as the holiday break approaches, remember to keep up with your studies. Consistency pays off, and a bit of review can make a big difference! Enjoy your break and stay safe 😊 Have a Happy Thanksgiving!!!
The Newspaper-Continuing the Tradition
Here's what Ms. Manuel, a former MBMS student and now MBMS teacher, had to say! "I'm glad to see the newspaper starting back up. I was on the newspaper many years ago (1987-1988) when I was in 8th grade at MBMS. I think we called it "Pinto Press" or something like that. I was in charge of Korny Korner and had to come up with jokes for each printing. I had forgotten all about that until now."
Do you remember the MBMS newspaper?

Jr. Broncette Interview by our Editor in Chief, Hallie Buckner!
Hallie Buckner, our Editor in Chief, interviewed MBMS Jr. Broncette and fellow 8th grader, Bella Foreman about her favorite game so far this year as well as a few favorites about being a Broncette! Here’s what she had to say:
What was your favorite game so far this year and why?
I would say my favorite football game this year was our purple and gold game which was my last middle school football game dancing. I just loved at the end of the game we all took pictures together, celebrated ,and danced our hearts out for our last middle school football game.
What is your favorite routine, cheer, or tradition that your squad does?
My favorite routine is our hip hop/ pep rally dance that we are so excited to show everybody for basketball season!
My favorite tradition that our dance and cheer squad does is before and after every game we all huddle up and do a cheer together as one big group.
What is your favorite part about cheering or dancing?
My favorite part about dancing for the middle school is getting to spend time and dance with your friends. The squad is more than just a team, it’s a family!

Student Vibes
Halloween Reflections
Having fun at Halloween is still a thing! At school, students were able to wear a Halloween or Fall themed shirt. That evening, a lot of students celebrated Halloween by dressing up, going trick-or-treating, or went to a Halloween party. Some favorite Halloween costumes mentioned was a gorilla costume, group costumes, like Gru and his minions. Some of the costumes got a little creepy like this one pictured from Delta Soileau (6th).
Thanksgiving Plans
Team Turkey? Team Christmas?
We asked a lot of students if their family was more Team Turkey/Thanksgiving or Team Christmas. The consensus says Christmas is the winner, but what do you think? Check out the QR code below and cast your vote!
Teacher Chats-Thanksgiving Style
We couldn't leave our teachers out of answering a few questions about Thanksgiving! We asked them what they are looking forward to most, to share their favorite memories, as well as any Thanksgiving kitchen story disasters!
Ms. Champagne
Ms. Champagne is looking forward to baking, watching holiday movies, and spending quality time with family on the break and her favorite memory is watching the Macy's Day Parade. "Growing up I always woke up to watch the Macy's Day Parade with my family. We would circle around the tv with coffee and chocolate milks to watch for our favorite floats. Now I do this tradition with my own kids." Ms. Champagne didn't have any kitchen disasters to share with us, but she is Team Turkey with a side of Christmas Twinkle! Enjoy your time off with your family, Ms. Champagne!
Ms. Whelan
Ms. Whelan is most looking forward to visiting family and eating lots of delicious food during the Thanksgiving break! Her most fond memory of Thanksgiving is going camping in Missouri with her family. One year, she forgot to thaw the turkey, so they didn't have any turkey to eat that year!
She is also Team Turkey with a side of Christmas Twinkle! We hope you enjoy your Thanksgiving break, Ms. Whelan!
Ms. Nowlin
"I plan on being as lazy as possible for a few days, then I'll start cooking and baking for Thanksgiving day!" I think we can all relate with the lazy part! She mentions that her favorite Thanksgiving memory is actually from adulthood. "I started cooking Thanksgiving lunch for our families three years ago, and it gives me so much joy to be able to provide a meal for everyone!" Although she has a pretty sweet memory of Thanksgiving, she does have a slight disaster to share. "I didn't buy the right brand of macaroni and cheese (Velveeta Shells, if you must know) last year, and it's honestly the only dish my kids eat on Thanksgiving. They were not happy!" At least they had some pretty lights to look at as she is yet another member of Team Turkey with a side of Christmas Twinkle!
We hope you have a restful and family filled Thanksgiving again this year, Ms. Nowlin! (Don't forget that mac-n-cheese!)
