Don't forget about the Community Service opportunities that are available in our communities this summer.
Starting with the class of 2027, students are required to have 75 community service hours in order to graduate. Below are two great opportunities to get a head start on this.
MES Art and STEM Camp: There are 10 SLOTS still available for incoming 1st - 5th grade students in the MES Art and STEM Camp!

STEM Camp - Day 3: ROBOTICS!! Today, the students had the opportunity to engage in Robotics using the Sphero Bolts- drawing shapes & blocks that represent codes and executing those codes. The activity encourages exploration, imagination and perseverance as they use trial and error to program their bolts. Students were able to explore, control and maximize their sphere experience through the Sphero Edu apps on their phones. Lastly, the students designed and built a Battlebot - using their design thinking skills, and thinking outside of the box to build a battle shell that can withstand other challengers! Congratulations Dragons for a day full of technological adventures!
Have an awesome day Dragon families.💙
STEM Camp - Day 2 - Activity: Students designed and built their truss bridge (using triangular shapes), a structure that allows weight to be evenly distributed and support heavy loads using popsicle sticks. During their planning, students use their mathematical skills in measurements and knowledge in 2D and 3D shapes. At the end of the challenge, bridges are tested by adding a total of 8 Lbs. of weights and ALL BRIDGES PASSED THE TEST!
Next up - off to ROBOTICS tomorrow!!
It isn't too late to join! https://forms.gle/TJzqTWtHWnzmRGoJ6

Scroll down to the Dragon Athletics section for information and links. If you have any questions, please email Coach Dean, Athletic Director at zach.dean@mountainburg.org.
MARK YOUR CALENDARS: Below is a link to a document with the 2024-2025 picture dates that are set with Heritage Portraits and Kassy Pense Sample. Every effort is made to stick to this schedule throughout the year.
We are trying something new this year. Sports pictures are scheduled throughout the year on three different Saturday's. This is to help eliminate disruptions during the school day and to avoid interrupting athletic periods in which teams practice. These are highlighted in yellow. There will be set times scheduled for teams to report for their pictures. It is important that ALL team members and coaches be present for these photos in order to be included in the team picture.
This information was sent to parent/guardian emails of students entering grades K - 12th. Dates will be set for little league soon and will be posted.

STEM CAMP Day 1: Challenge #2: In their second challenge today, students tried building a tall and strong spaghetti marshmallow tower. This challenged the students to work together as a team, plan their design process, and test it. The goals of this challenge is for students to develop problem-solving skills, critical thinking and to demonstrate resilience in the face of challenges or frustrations.
STEM CAMP Day 1: Challenge #1 - In this activity, students use the only resource they can find on a deserted island - a plastic bag, to make a strong rope! Students explore how twining strips of plastic can join together to form a strong rope and test to see whose rope is the strongest.
Have an awesome week ahead everyone! 😊

PARENTS and MHS STUDENTS... Don't forget these opportunities to get a jumpstart on community service learning hours.
1. Keep a notebook just for CSL.
2. When you do a volunteer activity, include the date, name of activity, hours worked, and have an organizer sign the sheet.
3. Organizers will be keeping sign in sheets also.
This is done on the "honor system." We trust our students to be honest about this.
If you have any questions, please contact Mrs. Cristee.
