Chill Week Wrap Up
We recently celebrated our 4th Annual Chill Week at MMS! Chill Week focuses on a daily theme to encourage students to think about and practice self-care using Change to Chill’s free online resources and activities. We had Music Monday, Take a Break Tuesday, Well-being Wednesday, Talk About It Thursday, and Friday Feels. We partnered with the district’s food service team to provide special mood boosting meals each day. We were fortunate to have the band NextEra present to the students to remind them that they matter, they have value, and they have a purpose!

Career Fair
Our 8th grade teachers are in the beginning stages of planning a career fair and mock interviews for all students in 8th grade. The Career Day will take place on May 9th from 7:45am-10:30am. We are looking for Career Fair Volunteers and Mock Interview Volunteers.
Career Fair Volunteers will be standing at a table in the gym and talking with 8th graders about their career, daily tasks, and skills used on the job. We are also looking for volunteers to help with mock interviews. These will be held in classrooms and will be a time for students to practice interview skills and answer predetermined questions. Volunteers will be asking students interview questions and giving them feedback on their interview skills.
If you would like to volunteer for either of these opportunities, please fill out the following Google form.
The team will email you with more information and updates once we have a list of volunteers.
