MCC Reminder:
With colder weather and our first snow, we want to remind families to be sure children are prepared with proper clothing. Students in K-4 should have winter hat, gloves, boots, and snowpants. Students in grades 5-6 should have winter hat, gloves, and boots (snowpants - suggested). Students in 7-12 should have winter hat and gloves at minimum. When it gets colder face coverings should be considered. We want all our children to stay warm and stay safe!
Widseth featured our school building project on it's webpage with a video they produced.
It is a powerful video that told our story well.
Thank you MCC Community for supporting our children's safety and future!
