Middle School - 5-7

It has been fun watching our Middle School hallways come alive this week with the creativity and school spirit of Spring Splash. Seeing our students participate in dress-up days and celebrate one another highlights the vibrant, Christ-centered community we strive to build here at MCA. As we head into the final stretch of the week, we are focused on finishing the year strong both in our academics and in our efforts. We are so blessed to walk alongside your children as they discover their God-given talents, whether that is on the athletic field, in the classroom, or through leading their peers in worship and school pride.

Weekly Updates and Events

• May 4-8 Spring Splash
• May 7-8 Upper School Experience Maranatha Rehearsals
• May 15 Experience Maranatha

Blessings,

Allen Banks

Middle School Principal

Starting in 5th grade, students can develop their God-given talents by signing up for Band, Orchestra, or Choir. By seeing these classes in action today, our 4th graders were able to envision themselves in the ensemble, and we look forward to seeing how they will use their gifts to glorify Him through music in the years to come!

We are excited to announce Spring Splash 2026! This is a high-energy time for our middle schoolers to build community and show their school spirit. In addition to our daily themes, the Middle School will have a special competition during character hour to celebrate together. We encourage all students to dress up, participate, and engage in the fun.

Please ensure all outfits remain in line with our school's modesty policy.

Here is the schedule for the week:

• Monday: Formal Day – Dress your best and get fancy!

• Tuesday: Tacky Tourist/Tropical Day – Think shirts, sun hats, and fanny packs.

• Wednesday: Nerds and Jocks Day – Choose a side and dress the part.

• Thursday: Color Wars

• 5th Grade - Orange
• 6th Grade - Blue
• 7th Grade - Red
• 8th Grade - Pink

• Friday: Hawaiian and Spirit Day – Show your Mustang pride

Experience Maranatha is right around the corner, and we are looking forward to a great day celebrating the Arts within our school community. This is always a special opportunity to showcase the many gifts and talents of our students, and we are excited to see their hard work on display throughout the day.

Parents/special guests will check out middle school students in the sanctuary at the conclusion of the Upper School (MS & HS) Choir Performance, approximately at 12:00 pm. The adult checking out students will need to let the teacher know if the student will be leaving campus with them.

Need to check out before the Upper School Choir Performance (10:45 am)?

If, for any reason, a middle school student needs to be checked out prior to 10:45 am, a parent/guardian must fill out the dedicated Experience Maranatha Form. Please fill this form out at least a day in advance to help streamline the process and note that an adult will need to be present to check out the student at Student Services.

Need to check out after the Upper School Choir Performance (12:30 pm)?

If, for any reason, a middle school student needs to be checked out past 12:30 pm, a parent or special guest will need to visit the grade appropriate classroom to check the student out.

• Grades 5–6 in room #216

• Grades 7–8 in room #240

Any student not checked out for the day will attend the Upper School (MS & HS) Band Performance, starting at 2 pm in the sanctuary.

Please note: middle school students will not be released without an adult present to check them out and all must be accompanied by an adult for the day.
