The countdown to the end of Second Grade wrapped up today with the Event of the Year! Our celebrities walked the red carpet while the hosts, Mrs. Davis, Mrs. Esteppe, and Mr. Herrin presented prestigious awards to celebrate an unforgettable school year. It was the perfect way to recognize all of the hard work, growth, laughter, and memories we shared together this year!

Here's what is happening at MMJH this week!
Our first grade Park Day was such a fun time! The students had a blast playing, laughing, and spending time together outside. We made so many happy memories and loved seeing all the smiles today! ☀️🛝
🗓️ Reminder: There will be no school on Monday, May 25, 2026, in observance of Memorial Day.
The countdown continues in 2nd grade! Today we celebrated the letter “A” with Art Day! 🎨🖌️
Our students had an amazing time getting creative, showing off their imagination, and making some incredible masterpieces. Art Day was a huge success, and we definitely have some future artists among us! ❤️
The GRFC baseball team plays at Iroquois West tonight for their last regular season game. Come out and support our boys before they play their first regional game on Monday. #ALLINALLYEAR #BUFFNATIONLETSRIDE #LLBW

Sixth grade ELA is wrapping up the year by making a memory box of artifacts to represent the book Esperanza Rising. Students have to work within a set budget to "purchase" crafting supplies then work with their assigned partner or group to design and craft the items. Once the artifacts are finished, students will make a slideshow explaining each artifact and present it to the class. This project can be quite messy, but it's worth it to see the kids exercise their creative muscles and build critical thinking skills.
