We had another great week waltzing into Winter with our Spirit Week! We officially welcomed winter on Thursday. Our building was full of holiday spirit throughout the week especially on Friday. During our assembly on Friday I shared with our students how proud I was of them for all of the great work these past four months. I also gave a shout out to our staff who continue to provide the best learning experiences for our students.
This week demonstrated the growth we have experienced so far this school year as One Inclusive Community Helping Each Other Learn and Grow. I am excited for 2024 and all of the amazing things to come at MJS!
Waltz into Winter Spirit Week
Waltz into Winter Spirit Week
We had another great week of spirit as we continued to Waltz into Winter at MJS. From merry and bright, to a favorite hat, to a winter white out, to ugly sweaters to anything but a backpack, our students and staff had a blast!
Anything but a Backpack
Anything but a Backpack
Our final spirit day of the week, Anything but a Backpack, was a huge success! This day was suggested by our Student Council Executive Board earlier in the school year. The students had a great time bringing in anything but a backpack to carry their belongings.
Spreading Holiday Joy
Spreading Holiday Joy
On Friday we hosted our Music Department Holiday Concert, which has been a longstanding tradition at MJS. Our Orchestra, Choir and Band performed various music selections for our entire MJS community to help spread holiday joy as we all got ready for winter break. The best part of this tradition is when our Jazz Band plays Feliz Navidad and our staff come up to sing along. By the end of the piece the entire auditorium was up and singing! Great job to all of our performers, music directors and a big thank you to our entire MJS community. Check out the video clip below of Feliz Navidad!

The Week Ahead
The Week Ahead
As we enter winter break I want to wish all of our MJS families the very best during this holiday season. It is my hope that we all can take some time to relax while spending quality time with family and friends.
We have an exciting month ahead when we return in 2024. We will welcome our guest speaker, Coach Stroker, on January 10th who will work with our students on the topics of leadership and decision making. Our winter pep rally is scheduled for January 26th. As you saw from the video above, we will have our schoolwide winter dance on February 1st.
We are excited to welcome another Spirit Week during the second week of January sponsored by our Conflict Resolution Club. The theme will be Dress for the Decades. See the flyer below for more information.
