A little bit older and all the wiser...Today some MNCS students were dressed in their best as 100 year olds in celebration of the 100th day of school! Several students and staff were in the spirit, dressed in fun attire as older versions of themselves. All are young at heart and showed us how great 100 looks! Happy 100th Day of school- here's to many more!

Puppy Goes To School! MNCS Elementary had the most adorable guest yesterday visiting students in each class. The cute puppy named Ginger made kids so comfortable and students lined up to give her a hug and hold her. It was wonderful to see all the smiles and laughter she brought! Thanks for visiting and making our day!
Final details for the Chili Cook Off

Congrats to Emmett Ische who got 3rd Place for High School Boys.
Last Friday, both Critter and Frog students had another special guest come and visit with the class! Students asked the Veteran all sorts of questions like "why did you become a soldier", "what was it like" as well as "what did you eat" and "what was your specific job in the military"? These recent visits hold a lot of meaning and students were eager to learn more about their service and experiences. Thank you to those individuals for coming in and speaking with us! To those who served and those who continue to serve our nation, we honor you. Thank you!
Woodland Critter Students recently had some special guests come in to speak to their class about their experiences in the military. As part of our American Symbols unit, students were able to ask them questions, listen to their stories, hear what it was like, see the uniforms they wore, and view some pictures they shared with us. It was an honor to have these Veterans visit our school and we thank them for their service to our country.

More Winter Dance Party pictures...so much FUN!!!
Last Friday, MNCS Elementary students celebrated all things winter! There was sledding in the morning and then a Winter Dance Party in the afternoon! Students had a great time celebrating the winter season dancing to music, playing glow in the dark bowling, a ping pong ball game, balloon toss, making paper snowflakes, winning prizes, and eating some delicious festive treats! What a fun way to spend an Experience Friday!
The Student Council Lunch Fundraiser was a success today! Students and staff enjoyed the delicious lunch of mac and cheese, walking taco, and lemonade prepared by our amazing student council members. All proceeds from today will be used to help raise money for school wide activities and upcoming field trips.
We commend our student council for their valued input at MNCS and efforts to impact our school community in a positive manner! Thank you for the delicious food!
More pictures of some festive candy houses...there were so many different creative designs- great job everyone!
In celebration of the recent holidays, MNCS students in the Frog and Critter classrooms enjoyed building candy houses. Students had a wonderful time with the help of fellow MNCS students and family members who came to show their support and join in on the fun! From colorful gumdrops, assorted chocolate candies, candy cane trails, snowy icing, and a lot of other delicious goodies- these candy houses looked too good to eat! Thank you to all our helpers and everyone did such a great job- we bet these candy houses tasted as good as they looked!
We are looking for donations for the silent auction that will be happening during our chili cook off Feb 4th. If you have anything to donate please bring it to the high school by Feb 3rd.
A few students went to 3rd Lair Skate Park today. What a wonderful way to spend a Friday experience!
