Last week the Kindness club wanted to spread some joy at MCPS. These little Leprechauns hid shamrocks for 12 lucky staff members to find.
Each person who found a shamrock received a prize, including two gift cards that were generously donated by Roasted!
Students at MCPS have been celebrating Read Across America this month. One of our library activities was to design a potato to look like a storybook character. We think these spuds are pretty special!
Mrs. Wood & Ms. Mangold's class set out leprechaun traps on Friday, hoping to catch one over the weekend. Instead, their room was destroyed by them! They weren't successful in trapping one again this year, but the leprechauns did leave everyone gold chocolate coins!
Join our team!
May all your wishes come true today! Happy St. Patrick's Day!
Mrs. Gough's and Mrs. Herrin's class have been working on adding more detail and being very specific with our writings. We practiced by collectively writing out steps to make a PB&J. We tested ourselves by visiting with Mrs. Charlton's kindergarten class to see if we were specific enough to teach younger kiddos how to make one all by themselves. These 3rd, 4th, and 5th graders did an amazing job with their directions and working side by side with kindergarten students. Everyone enjoyed eating their PB&J's in the end!
The next student attendance 1/2 day will be April 17th. (The calendar released at the beginning of the year listed the April date as a TBD date based on SAT testing.)
Dismissal Times:
MS - 11:20 AM
HS - 11:30 AM
PS - 11:40 AM
Reading is more fun when the characters from the story join you!
Miss Waddell's 4th grade class filled their jar and earned a party! They chose to have class outside, ALL DAY!!
Students worked with angles, read about the history of slavery, enjoyed a nature walk, combined REAL things to make an imaginary creature, read, and wrote stories giving objects human qualities.
It was a perfect way to enjoy the beautiful weather and take a break from screens!
What a great day in Mrs. Bohm's first grade class!!! Students were able to share/read their animal books to parents, guardians, and staff! They all enjoyed to so much.... plus they got some yummy cookies and punch, too!

Today MCPS staff surprised and celebrated Ms. Ranallo, our School Social Worker, by dressing up like her!
This week is School Social Worker Week. Ms. Ranallo is our district-wide social worker, and is everywhere all the time! Today, she was literally "everywhere" in our building with everyone who dressed like her.... Wigs, Cubs attire, Illini attire, rainbows! What a fun day celebrating our one and only!
Our MCPS food service staff went all out for Dr. Seuss week!!!!
