The 3rd and 4th grade Masquerade Dance was a resounding success. Thank you to everyone who helped with the dance before and after! We appreciate your patience during pickup. Safely reunifying over 200 children with their parents is no easy feat.

Pasta Food Drive

The Pasta Food Drive is currently underway, with the Berkeley County Backpack Program being the primary focus. The program is in urgent need of canned pasta, ravioli, and spaghetti. Designated drop-off bins, separated by grade level, are located at the front of the school. The grade level with the most donations will be rewarded with a popcorn party after the Thanksgiving break. Donations will be accepted until Friday, November 21st. All contributions are greatly appreciated. The competition among grades is currently very close!

Volunteer Volunteer

Come volunteer at MRI! Level 1 volunteers are those individuals who have a completed and approved background check. All chaperones for field trips must be a Level 1.


It is recommended that you consider getting your Level 1 if you plan on volunteering at school in any way. This way it's done and you should be good to go!


Want to volunteer as a mystery reader or help with a class lesson/activity? Communicate with your child's teacher to schedule a time to be here!
