December Leaders of the Month
On Wednesday we had the opportunity to celebrate our December Student Leaders of the Month. At the end of each month our teachers choose two students from each team to represent their team as Leaders of the Month. A big congratulations to our Leaders of the Month and for all they bring to our MJS ONE Community on a daily basis. Thank you to these students for being great role models within our building.

Winter Pep Rally (*Change of Date*) - February 2nd
On Friday February 2nd we will host our Winter Pep Rally in the Auditorium. We will utilize game show style activities to engage our school community in a fun filled experience. In addition we will celebrate our winter sports of Basketball and Volleyball. It is also the perfect timing as second marking closes and third marking period begins, marking the halfway point of our school year. Our fall pep rally was a huge success so we are looking forward to our winter pep rally. It will be a great opportunity to bring our MJS community together in celebration, connection and fun!
