We are celebrating our Veterans on Thursday.  We would like all students to wear red, white, or blue to honor all who have served our country!   

If you had a star to decorate for a veteran - please return it to the office at your earliest convenience!  Remember art projects for the Veterans' Day art contest are due on November 9th.

You won’t “beleaf” how good sixth graders are getting at dividing with decimals! 

Katie Miller, a 6th grade science teacher, went to Mars last week to do a simulation at the Mars Desert Research Station.   She spent a whole week living like an astronaut would live on Mars.  She ate freeze-dried food from Earth and took care of plants in a greenhouse. She also got to drive a Mars Rover and do field research.  She found dinosaur bones in the field and learned a lot about the geology of the area.  Welcome back to Earth Mrs. Miller!

MGMS Student Council in correlation with local charitable giving opportunities bring to you Penny Wars! Our penny wars are set for November 15-19, 2021! 

How Penny Wars Work:

The basic premise of a penny war fundraiser is that students bring spare change to school for a set period of time, in this case one week, and deposit it into containers. At the end of the collection period, the change is  donated toward local families in need  through Nebo School District.

Students in Hannah Nelson's class used a scroll of adding machine paper to try and predict how close the planets in the solar system are (or are not).  Then the students folded the paper to reveal the actual scale model.  The students were SHOCKED at just how close the inner planets were.  

Katie Miller's class learned about the scale of the solar system by creating the planets.  Clark Planetarium also joined Mrs. Miller's class to discuss the scale of the solar system and the students learned distance of the planets based on their size and hung them in the halls of Maple Grove Middle School

As the pandemic’s unseen costs begin to unfold on the mental health front, some wonder how school children will be impacted. Despite the massive challenge we face, there are growing resources to help families who are struggling.
