MMCSD’s Spring Musical is just around the corner!! “NUNSENSE” is the hilarious and highly exaggerated musical about a convent of Nuns who stage a fundraiser to enable them to bury the last four nuns of their order who died after an unfortunate cooking accident and are being stored in the freezer! The sisters decide that the best way to raise the money is to put on a variety show, so they take over the school auditorium, which is currently set up for the eighth-grade production of “Grease.” Show times are on Friday, March 25th at 7pm and Saturday, March 26th at 1pm and 7pm. Admission is $5 at the door. We will see you there!
Watch out for the flying pig in Mr. Sakshaug’s Physics class!! Students recently learned how Centripetal Force acts on a body moving in a circular path and is directed toward the center around which the body is moving.

MMCSD presents “A Christmas Scarol”
We are excited for you to come out and see our School Play, tomorrow, December 18th! Show times are at 1:00pm and 7:00pm! Tickets are $5.00 at the door.
When Tim can't think of a Christmas gift to get his high-maintenance girlfriend, he's visited by four terrifying spirits (actually five -- they've been hiring) who whisk him away on a harrowing and hilarious journey into the past, present, future, and an alternate timeline. This wild and free-spirited adaptation of the holiday classic is a reminder of the true meaning of Christmas.
