🎉 Our board-approved School Calendar for the 2025-2026 school year is out! 🎉 You can find the PDF version on our website at msd321.com by clicking on "School Year Calendar." We hope everyone has a fantastic week ahead!
We are excited to announce that MMS has received a Blue Cross Grant! Our incredible Mayor Jerry Merril took on the challenge of walking 10,000 steps a day throughout October, as part of Blue Cross's initiative to promote physical fitness and health awareness in our community.
Mayor Merril didn't just walk; he joined our Zombie Walking/Running Pacer Run, engaging with our students and setting a fantastic example of staying active. The MMSD PE Specialist, Debbie Miles, reached out to the Mayor and is proud to say they made this happen together!
The grant funds will be used to purchase scooters for our special needs students and others, ensuring everyone can join in the fun. Additionally, we will introduce some of our students to the joys of cross-country skiing at Teton Lakes Golf Course/Winter Park. This will not only help them enjoy the outdoors and stay fit but also support their mental health and expose them to a lifelong sport!
