It is finally upon us...the last day of school! So many memories shared and as the school year comes to a close, we look back fondly on lessons learned, friendships made, and unforgettable experiences that have helped shape our students and the MNCS community. Thank you to our students and staff for supporting each other throughout the year and to our wonderful families who have been there every step of the way to foster their children's learning and support MNCS in more ways than we can count! We could not have been as successful without your partnership. To those that will be leaving or moving onto the High School, we wish a fond farewell and the very best in your future endeavors.
Have a safe, restful, and rewarding summer! We look forward to welcoming students back on August 28th to begin another school year full of learning adventures and fun experiences!

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!
