MMS is incredibly excited to move to a new model next year, which we are calling Neighborhoods. Our goal is to ensure our students have the same abundant opportunities that come from being in a large school while also creating a small-school feel.   This move prioritizes a close-knit community led by a common team of dedicated core staff focused on individual growth, adaptability, and relationships while preparing students for today’s dynamic landscape and rapidly changing future.

Helping our children have healthy bodies and minds is more important than ever. Parents can support their children’s physical and emotional well-being by giving them opportunities to:

• Handle stress well through physical activity and healthy thinking.

• Relate to others by encouraging social interactions and emotional awareness.

• Make healthy choices about how they eat and play.

You can help your kids prepare mentally, physically, and emotionally for the upcoming school year with healthy and fun summer activities. Check out these resources for ideas on fun & healthy activities to promote good physical and mental health.
