We heard through the grapevine that the playground at MGS may be experiencing an upgrade in the future. In honor of this, students in 5A and 5B took part in a STEM challenge in which they had to design their dream playground using ONLY paper and tape. We hope these models inspire any future changes to the playground!
2B enjoying a day of camping!
The alphabet countdown to the end of the school year has been full of excitement in kindergarten. Hands on learning experiences are engaging and meaningful for these little ones!
