MMS Palooza

Get excited for the MMS Palooza, on June 14. The MMS Palooza is a fun day filled with games and treats. The 7th grade has been hard at work to put together this fantastic event. They planned everything from the layout of the field to the games. They also organized the scavenger hunt, which is currently happening right now. Every morning, a scavenger hunt clue is revealed on the announcements. The Palooza group that gets the points from the clues gets a pizza party. On the day of Palooza, there will be games such as cornhole, ladder ball, and much more to celebrate the end of the year. There will also be ice cream at the end!

Musical Education

Have you ever performed in front of a crowd?  Well, almost everyone at MMS has!  The trip to the Music Adjudication was a success!  Both the Chorus and the Band played and were awarded very highly.  The sixth grade chorus got gold, seventh grade chorus got platinum, eighth grade chorus got platinum, and select choir got platinum.  The sixth grade band got gold, seventh grade band got platinum, eighth grade band got gold, and the jazz band got platinum.

Also, a special shout-out to the 6th and 5th graders who performed, as it was their first time.  After the adjudication, the group was shipped off to Six Flags where they had tons of fun on the thrilling rides and rollercoasters!

The MMS Art Show

Get prepared for Mystic Middle’s first Art Show on Monday, June 5. At 5:00 - 6:30 pm for grades 5 and 7, and from 7:00 - 8:30 for grades 6 and 8.

For the past year, the students have been working on a variety of different pieces of artwork and each of the students' best work has been shown. Some examples of the amazing pieces of artwork made by the 8th grade are; optical illusions, animals, and sunsets. From the 7th grade; hallway perspectives, pop-out art (2D and 3D), and hand drawings. From 6th grade; clay pots, still life, and weaving. From the 5th grade; nutcrackers, self-portraits, and clay tiles. Of course, this is just some of the things you will expect at this event and we hope to see you there. Not only that, but some of the artwork is for sale so you can have it for yourself.
