Glow Day!!! Students in the Frogs and Critters class enjoyed some glow in the dark activities yesterday afternoon! There was a dice game, ring toss, bowling, glow in the dark art, math game, and a scavenger hunt. MNCS students had so much fun glowing & playing!

Junk Journal Friday! Students made some adorable/crazy/wacky junk journals today! What fun!

MNCS High School and Elementary Unite! As a sort of mentorship opportunity, High School students from Jim Wartman's Advisory came to the Elementary school to read Dr. Seuss's "The Lorax" to Mrs. V's Critter class today. Students enjoyed spending time together. It helped to form and strengthen the bonds between High School and Elementary students, opening doors and experiences for both! Students enjoyed story time and the Dr. Seuss inspired Truffula cotton candy treats some High School students made for them. They also enjoyed doing some fun building activities together and was wonderful to see the enriching interactions! Thank you to our High School guests, we appreciate the impact you have with helping teach our younger students and we look forward to doing it again in the future!

Here is a list of decorative supplies that are needed for a project. If you have any to donate please let us know. Thank you!
