This week students in Coach Collier's science class explored live organisms up close from Ms. Bradshaw's fish tank in Mrs. Grove's office lab! Watching tiny life forms move and react in real time was incredible. It’s one thing to read about cells and microorganisms—but seeing them under the microscope makes science come alive.

Today one of our own, Mrs. Mamie Whitaker, who made a lasting impact on so many lives, was laid to rest. Her dedication, patience, and passion for teaching went far beyond the classroom. She didn’t just teach lessons—she shaped minds, inspired confidence, and showed genuine care for every student she encountered.
Her influence will live on through the countless students she guided, the colleagues she loved, and the community she helped. While her presence will be deeply missed, her legacy will continue in the values, knowledge, and kindness she shared so freely.
Rest in peace Mrs. Whitaker. You will never be forgotten! We love you!
Love,
Your MMS Family
