Home of the Dragons!
Our middle school students kicked off October in the library with a Halloween diamond painting activity!
Our sophomores enjoyed a Book Tasting Activity in the library today!
Students sampled a variety of books, shared their thoughts, and rated each one as they made their way through the selections. A fun way to discover something new! 📚❤️
Stronger together! Superintendent Woods has released a new letter for our school community. Inside, you'll find homecoming information, a big thank-you to our families for supporting one another through August’s storms, updates on our safety initiatives, and guidance on how parents can connect with us to resolve any questions or concerns.
Homecoming Parade Update: Due to the impending weather forecast, the Homecoming Parade has been postponed to Monday, October 5 at 10:00 AM. The parade will go the same route as planned. A mini-districtwide pep rally will be held in Dragon Gymnasium at 9:30 AM.
We know this is short notice, but we wanted the most accurate forecast before making the call. This decision was made with the safety and best interest of everyone participating in mind. Thank you for your understanding and flexibility!

Friday, October 2 is a big day - Homecoming 2026!
Below is information that should be helpful for everyone planning to attend.
We understand that some families may be attending specifically for the pre-game ceremony and may not plan to stay for the football game. We would love to be able to provide complimentary admission for everyone participating in the ceremony, but unfortunately, that is not financially feasible for our athletic department.

Adopt-a-Shelf! 📚
We’re kicking off our first “Adopt-a-Shelf” at MMS with our first featured reader, Cashlyn Arnold!
Each week, we’ll introduce you to a new student, share a little about what they enjoy reading, and highlight the books they recommend from our library collection.
Stop by the library to check out Cashlyn’s picks!
Our 5th graders received their very own book keychains in the library this week!
Each student chose a book they would recommend, and now they can take that recommendation with them wherever they go—right on their backpacks! We can’t wait to see students sharing their favorites, talking about books, and discovering their next read from a friend’s recommendation!
Here’s to building a strong culture of reading at MMS! 📚❤️

I wanted to let everyone know that Nikki Yardley will be taking over as the Dragon Yearbook adviser moving forward.
I truly enjoyed my years as Dragon Yearbook Adviser. It has been a project that I have cared a great deal about, and I’m proud of the books we have produced over the years. For the past 12 years, I have been fortunate to take the lead on the yearbook and, for the most part, have handled the process independently from start to finish.
As my teaching responsibilities have grown and additional responsibilities have been added to my plate, the yearbook had increasingly taken a back seat. I realized that it was time to make a change that would allow the program to have the time and attention it deserves.
I’m grateful for the opportunity to have been part of the Dragon Yearbook for so many years. I was on Linda Morris' yearbook staff for two years here at MHS so it was very special to be the adviser for so many years. I’m excited to see where Nikki takes it from here. Please join me in welcoming her to the role and supporting her as she takes on this new responsibility.
Thank you to everyone who supported me and the yearbook throughout the years. It has truly been a memorable part of my career.
**I have kept copies of every book since I was adviser. 1998 - 2026.** Please see the flyer for more information. Please do not comment below what years you want. I will only reserve books once they are paid for. -Mrs. Christian
