Merry Christmas!

December has been crazy at MMS.  But, let me tell you some really impressive art has been created!  

There are 15 Scholastic's artists to brag on!

Folks that didn't think they were good at art, did.

6th graders have been in Greece.

7th graders have been busy creating Tesselations & crafts & duck tape weavings!

8th graders have been creating Retablos....art in honor of someone

as well as art about them.  We've been making a meaningful mess.

I'm sitting at home enjoying coffee, music and a moment of quiet before the chaos.  I hope you all enjoy the break.  I'm looking forward to a creative & motivated New Year.  I am thankful for a job I love and for students that keep me on my toes.  Merry Christmas everyone!
