Last week, 11th grade students participating in the Close Up program traveled to Washington, D.C. for their annual week-long educational experience. This prestigious national program offers students a unique opportunity to explore the inner workings of government at the local, state, and national levels. During the trip, students met with elected officials on Capitol Hill and participated in a Mock Congress, gaining hands-on experience in the legislative process. They also explored the rich history of the nation’s capital by visiting iconic monuments, Smithsonian Institution museums, and powerful memorials. The Close Up program provides a meaningful educational experience that helps students deepen their understanding of the American political system while strengthening leadership skills and civic engagement.

📚🎉 Read Across America Week Fun at MMCSD!
Our elementary students are celebrating Read Across America Week with stories, surprises, and lots of reading excitement.
Today brought some extra special surprises for our young readers. Second graders were thrilled when Principal Dean stopped by as their special guest reader, while our PreK students enjoyed a visit from Board of Education Trustee and Retired Mount Morris Teacher, Donna Todd, who shared a story with the class.
All week long, classrooms are also enjoying our Mystery Reader challenge. Students listen to a prerecorded book and try to guess which MMCSD staff member is behind the voice. The guesses have been creating a special buzz around the building!
It has been a fun week celebrating the joy of reading. Keep turning those pages, Blue Devils! 💙📖
Elementary readers from each grade level PreK - 6 went above and beyond during February break, logging minutes read and showing incredible dedication to their books.
This week, students who recorded the highest number of reading minutes were rewarded with a special kickball game alongside their teachers and Principal Dean!
Keep turning those pages, Blue Devils. Who will be our top readers next time? 💙
