Afterward, students will discuss service learning in the community, socialize, & enjoy Domino’s pizza Click here to register for the service learning project.

MMS Students take mySAEBRS Survey
On October 10th, MMS students will take the mySAEBRS survey. mySAEBRS is a screener that is utilized, along with additional information, to identify supports a student may need to be successful at school. MMS began using mySAEBRS as a student self-assessment in the fall of 2022, and mySAEBRS has been used at O.H. Anderson Elementary for years. The mySAEBRS asks questions about how students feel about school and connections to adults and peers at school. Below are some examples of the questions.
The survey will take about 5 minutes for students to complete. To learn more, please visit the mySAEBRS website here.
Around the School
WEB's Freeze Pop Fundraiser

Mr. Beyer's 7th Graders built bridges out of balsa wood and tested their designs to see how much weight they could hold.
