Today we were very pleased to surprise Ms. Gowin, art teacher, with a Wildcat award.
We are celebrating individuals who truly embody our district’s 2024-2025 focus: “Educate, Encourage, Empower.” These remarkable staff members go beyond their roles, inspiring both students and colleagues every day.
Empowerment starts with believing in our students’ potential. Our recipients create environments where every child feels valued and encouraged to take risks, nurturing their self-confidence and fostering independence.
Ginia has a knack for teaching kids. There is not a day that I don't hear about how well she knows her students and their likes and dislikes. She is supportive and accepting of all students and finds ways to include the students who may not have an interest in art at first. She is never negative or judging towards students or staff. Students feel comfortable in her classroom and it shows!
Our district’s mission is to create lifelong learners and productive citizens. The Wildcat Award winners support our mission by building meaningful connections, creating a supportive learning environment, and through their commitment to professional growth. Their dedication fosters a love for learning and makes our schools welcoming spaces. Today we are honoring Ms. Ginia Gowin with the Wildcat Award.
We are fortunate that Compass Health is working with Mr. Parker's health classes this week to teach our kids about the dangers of vaping. Students worked in small groups today to create anti-vaping posters.
Students in Mr. Anthes tried something new today--Sketch Notes! Using illustrations students summarized the events of Chapter 12 in their history books. We are very impressed by the products!
Students in Mrs. Gilbert's FACS classes have begun sewing. We are excited to see the cool projects they create.
Thanks to the generous support of our community, our recent Donors Choose project was quickly fully-funded. Sixth Graders who completed all required AMI assignments for the two days this week were the first to earn a reward. The Gaga Ball Pit, Hula Hoops, and Limbo were a huge hit! We can't thank you enough for your support!
January's Theme was RESPONSIBILITY. Our Rotary Wildcats of the Month do a great job demonstrating the trait of responsibility and they are excellent role models for the school. We are proud to have Anna, Caiden, and Jett representing the Wildcats!
We were finally able to recognize our December Rotary Wildcats of the Month. December's trait was GENEROSITY. We are very proud to have JR, Mylee, and Jordyn represent the Wildcats!
Due to the number of absences we have had, after school tutoring at the middle school will now begin NEXT Tuesday, February 25. Students who have signed up for tutoring should go home their normal mode today.
If you have not signed your student up, but are interested, please contact the Middle School office at 573-564-2253.
Thank you,
Mrs. River
It appears that Mother Nature is not finished with us yet! Welcome to AMI Day #2!
Teachers are working diligently to answer questions and provide assistance today. Please check Google Classrooms and email any questions you have.
We wanted to remind our students, as an alternative to the AMI work on the choice board that was sent out, middle school students have the option to turn in missing work for a class instead. Why not take advantage of this opportunity to get caught up in your classes!
Teachers are monitoring the work that is turned in today and rewarding a ClassBank bonus for assignments turned in! We've got this, Wildcats!
Thanks to many generous donors, our Donors Choose project, "Equip to Inspire: Reward Time Tools for Student Success!” has been fully funded. Our requested items have been ordered and should arrive within a few weeks. We can’t wait to start using our new equipment with our students to celebrate their accomplishments. So grateful for our Wildcat supporters!
Due to the threat of inclement weather which could affect preparation time for Saturday's MCMS FCCLA Dinner theater, the event has been postponed until Saturday, March 1.
If you already purchased tickets and will be unable to attend the new event time, please email Mrs. Gilbert at bgilbert@mc-wildcats.org to arrange a refund.
We are halfway to our fundraising goal for Equip to Inspire!
MCMS FCCLA is hosting a supplies drive for Cardinal Glennon Children's Hospital NEXT WEEK during AcLab. Please see the list of acceptable supplies and note they must be new items in their original packaging!
The AcLab with the most donated items from the list will win an ice cream party!
We are excited to offer after-school tutoring for our students on Tuesdays and Thursdays until 5:00 PM. This program is designed to provide additional academic support in a structured setting.
If you would like your child to participate, please call the school office to sign them up. Spaces may be limited, so we encourage you to reach out as soon as possible.
Please note that students must be picked up promptly by 5:00 PM as there will be no additional supervision after that time.
If you have any questions or would like to register your child, please contact our office at 573-564-2253.
We look forward to supporting our Wildcats in their learning!
We are seeing lots of AMI assignments turned in today. Way to go, Wildcats! Don't forget these important AMI basics. As you are turning things in, you should see Class Cash Bonuses hitting your account!
Wow! Our community has already funded half of our Donors Choose project, "Equip to Inspire: Reward Time Tools for Student Success!” We are so grateful for the support we have received to help us complete our project that will allow us to purchase equipment to be used during our grade level reward times.
We still need to raise the remaining funds for this project, so if you are able to contribute to help us purchase equipment to be used during grade level reward times, we would greatly appreciate it. If you can’t donate, please consider sharing our post.
