Good Afternoon Everyone!

This week, we’re celebrating Red Ribbon Week — a time to take a stand against drugs and make healthy, positive choices for our future. The national theme this year is “Be Kind to Your Mind. Live Drug Free. ”Throughout the week, we’ll have fun spirit days, activities, and challenges to remind us how important it is to stay drug-free and support one another in making smart choices.

So, wear your red proudly, show your school spirit, and remember:

💪 Be brave. Be strong. Be drug-free!

Our 8th graders were able to attend the annual Lakelands Career Showcase to gain business insights and learn about career opportunities in multiple industries with Ms. Martin, Mrs. Whitaker, Mrs. Grove, and Coach Jones. They also learned about Piedmont Technical College programs. A big thanks goes out to the manager of Chick-fil-A Greenwood for generously providing ice cream or cookies to our 8th grade group! Way to go MMS 8th graders!

Good Morning Chiefs,

We will be dismissing school at 9:30 am this morning, Friday, September 19th. This is due to a water main break that has caused an outage at our educational complex. For the remainder of the day, students will have an e-learning day. This means students will access their assignments via Google Classroom and assignments must be completed by 3PM today. Chromebooks will be sent home with all students today.

We apologize for such short notice, and thank you in advance for your flexibility. Thank you for your attention to this essential message, and we hope you have a great weekend.

MMS Parents,

I hope this message finds you well. This is a friendly reminder that the upcoming intersession period will take place from September 29th through October 2nd. If your child is attending, a transportation form is required whether they are a car or bus rider. Please turn in the form by Friday, September 19th to the front office. Forms were sent home with interims for students who were invited to intercession. Failure to turn in the transportation form by the deadline will prohibit your child from riding the bus.

If you have any questions or need assistance, you may call the front office. Have a great day.
