We have multiple students that if they have perfect attendance this upcoming week, they will come off our Chronic Absenteeism list. Let's make attendance a priority!

This week was Service Personnel Appreciation week. We are so fortunate to have the service personnel that we have here at MRMS! They do so much for our school and our students each and every day. Without them, we would not be able to function.

To honor them, our 8th grade students in Mrs. Vannoy's classes prepared a lasagna luncheon Friday! We are thankful to them and grateful we were able to provide real-world experiences for these students!

Our girls teams wrapped up their season this past week. Our JV team fell in a hard fought game against the top seed South Middle School. We are proud of their efforts this year!

Our boys teams host both games this Monday 2/24. The JV team plays at 6 and the Varsity team plays after. Our JV boys are the top seed going into the tourney and our Varsity team, the 4th seed. With a win, the next game would be Tuesday 2/25. Good Luck to both teams!

We are limiting the number of students per session to 12 so that students can get the help they need. Students should come to the session(s) with work and questions. Teachers will not be providing lessons but are there to offer help and assistance.

We will send out a separate email with the link each week to sign up.
