Honoring MMS's JONAH Hammett

 These students had Jonah on their mind and in their thoughts at 6:30 am today!

This week has been Childhood Cancer Awareness Week at MMS. Students have bought ribbons for $1.  The money is going to LillysFoundation in Jonah's name.  Students have also kept family members and other kids effected by cancer in their minds this week. Cancer is mean. But, MMS has a big heart and is doing their part. Check out that rhyme!

 The 8th graders quickly decided that face painting needed to be involved!

 My little helper, Charlotte loved passing out the ribbons.

 NOW, THIS IS COOL Ya'll! There was a BEAUTIFUL rainbow this morning. WOW!

JONAH, MMS has you on our mind today.  We are impressed by your fight and your spirit.  Keep fighting. FIGHT hard.  Be strong.  And, know that you are LOVED by MMS.

This is just a small glimpse of the day.  Folks were dressed in yellow.  Folks had on baseball jersey's and baseball hats. Faces were yellow.  And, $___ (update coming soon) was donated to cancer research by the kids, parents and staff at MMS.

MMS artists MAKE THEIR MARK

The 712 MMS ARTISTS have made their mark on the walls of MMS!

My 365 artists can be picked out with the red that was added to the detailed black and white drawings!

I LOVE the variety of these images!

Students took a road trip down the hall to find their mark. Some were easy to find.  Others, not so much!
