⚽ Student Spotlight ⚽
Today we are shining the spotlight on some of our students who play soccer at Winter Park: Alyssa, Gemma, Rylee, Sadie, Liam, Fernando, Karter, and Alex!
When asked about their favorite part of soccer, they shared that they love being with friends, playing with classmates, experiencing new teams, and the excitement of defending and shooting.
They also talked about some of the challenges that come with the game, including tough competition, receiving a bad cross, keeping up their confidence, having dad as a coach (😂), and even getting juked!
We love seeing our students stay active, build friendships, and grow through sports. Keep up the great work! We are proud of you all!

🌟 MMJH Students of the Month for April 🌟
Congratulations to our April Students of the Month: Abby, Titus (not pictured), and Weston!
Our word of the month was Respect, and these students truly exemplified what it means to show respect through their actions, attitudes, and the way they treat others each day. They set a great example for their peers and help make MMJH a positive place to learn and grow.
We are so proud of them!

We are so proud of our students for their generosity and compassion! Thanks to your efforts, we were able to donate $206.69 in cash, along with multiple rolls of paper towels and several cases of wet food to support our local animal shelter.
Your kindness is making a real difference for animals in need. Thank you for stepping up and showing what it means to care for your community! 💙

Mrs. Balgeman’s class took a hands-on step back in time while learning about the Triangle Shirtwaist Factory fire and the rise of assembly lines during industrialization. Students participated in a fast-paced competition to replicate a detailed blouse, racing against the clock to experience the pressure and precision of factory work. This engaging activity sparked meaningful conversations about efficiency, working conditions, and the human impact behind America’s industrial growth.

Marshall has made incredible growth this year. His hard work and dedication have earned him a well-deserved book from the machine—way to go, Marshall!



Shoutout to Rowan in Mrs. Davis’ 2nd grade class for earning a classroom book token! Rowan truly exemplifies what it means to be a role model student. She has a love for learning and is always eager to gain new knowledge. She is currently mastering multiplication and division facts through the 12s—an impressive skill that isn’t typically expected until 3rd grade!
Keep up the amazing work, Rowan—you are destined to do great things!
