Inclusion Awareness Committee:  The Inclusion Awareness Committee (Formerly Autism Awareness) is looking for members. We plan and work on making an Inclusion Week, making it the best it can possibly be. Last year, we were on the WEAU news, hosted penny wars, sponsored dress-up days, and had a lot of fun.  We focus on neurodivergence and making it more known throughout our school and community. If this sounds like fun and you want to help us create an Inclusion Week, contact Ms. Harrison or find her at lunch to get a paper form. We hope to see you there!

Yearbooks:  Get your yearbook orders in by February 23rd to get the low price of $25.  Order online at jostens.com.  You can only purchase the yearbook online.  There are no in person sales.  If you have any questions feel free to ask Mrs. Forster in the 6th grade blue pod or Ms. H in the 8th grade maroon pod.

February is Black History Month:  Every February, the U.S. honors the contributions and sacrifices of African Americans who have helped shape the nation.  Black History Month celebrate the rich cultural heritage, triumphs and adversities that are in indelible part of our country's history.  Throughout the month of February, MMS will recognize just a few African Americans who have influenced this country.

Quinton Byfield, 18, became the highest drafted Black hockey player in NHL history. He was picked No. 2 overall by the Los Angeles Kings, and in addition to the bright future that experts predict for him on the ice, he also wants to get involved in NHL?s diversity initiatives to recruit more players like him.
