Sixth grade students are studying Energy Sources in class. They researched the most effective shape, size, and design of the blades and then designed their own wind turbine blades out of cardboard and duct tape. They tested them by measuring voltage output with a voltage meter, improved their designs to increase energy output, then final tested them against the class and entire grade level. Our sixth grade overall winner was Jaxon Beck with an amazing output of 214 watts!
7th grade students will take the STAAR writing test on Tuesday, April 6th.
Parents, Please be aware that due to a high school track meet, you will be unable to enter the stadium parking lot to line up for dismissal until 3:15 p.m. today. We will have this situation again next week on Wednesday, April 7th and Thursday, April 8th. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your help.

MMS students are programming their VEX robots to run autonomously. They're using a program called VEX Code which utilizes a visual drag and drop interface, allowing students to learn programming concepts without knowing the specific syntax of the underlying programming language.
This is a reminder to all 8th graders and their guardians. Tomorrow night at 6:00 is a parent meeting in the HS multipurpose room to discuss high school graduation pathways and endorsements for next year. The High School Counselors have asked that only the student and one guardian attend. No siblings and please wear a mask. We look forward to seeing you there.
MMS students worked hard on their Model UN projects for today's virtual competition. Model United Nations, also known as M.U.N., is an educational simulation and academic activity in which students can learn about diplomacy, international relations, and the United Nations. Stay tuned for award announcements!
