MCPS staff shared some food, some laughs, some life together before pouring into hours of curriculum development this afternoon. We take our half days seriously at Midwest Central and we needed nourishment and encouragement to and from each other to get it done!
Ms. Ranallo came into Miss Forsythe and Mrs. Trettin’s morning and afternoon classes to give them an “Egg”cellent demonstration. She explained to our children how we are all different shapes, colors and sizes, but we are all the same on the inside!
Miss Forsythe and Mrs. Trettin’s Pre-K classes did a magical science experiment! They learned that when you put a pencil through a bag, it will not leak and why.
Reminder - Tomorrow is a student attendance 1/2 day!
Dismissal times are PS - 11:40, MS - 11:20, and HS - 11:30.
