Happy Friday, Shark Families!

It was a great week at MAST this week! Students are accomplishing so much, and our teachers were able to present in Nashville at Magnet Schools of America's National Conference and talk about everything they have done this year! It is so inspiring to watch how we are creating leaders in our building with our students and teachers. I hope everyone has a wonderful weekend, and we hope to see you tonight at 6 p.m. for our Spring Musical at EHS!

Committed to Success,

Heather Touchberry

Cook Off!

Way to go Harley and Asher! They proudly represented McKissick at the “Future Chefs” Culinary Competition. They both prepared their tasty salads for the judges and will also be preparing them for our McKissick Sharks to taste at lunch coming up in May! We’re so proud of you both!!!

Greenville Drive Game - Reading All Stars Challenge

Certificates and ticket vouchers for the Greenville Drive Reading All-Stars are being sent home this week! I recommend ordering your free tickets early! If you know that your family will not be able to attend the game, please return your voucher to Mrs. Mayo. We had a few students who turned their reading logs in late who will not receive a voucher unless someone else turns one in. There are no replacement vouchers if yours gets lost.
