The closure of our dear school had left every Lynx in a state of shock, grieving not just a school, but a place that has meant so much to so many. And yet, in the midst of that heartbreak, something remarkable unfolded within our walls.
Our faculty and staff, true to who they are, have chosen joy.
In these final days, they have wrapped our students in creativity, connection, and love.
Karaoke singalongs.
A student art gallery.
Student artists market.
Elementary and middle school theater performances.
Themed dress days, pajama day, outdoor water painting, trivia games, friendship bracelets, and visits from inspiring guests like stunt actor David Samonte.
Some students even tried to find the school time capsule. Rumor has it that it might be in the ceiling of the school!
And on our final afternoon together, the entire community gathered on the back field– students, alumni, families, faculty, and staff– simply to play and connect one more time.
This is who we are.
MIS has never been just a building, a schedule, or a curriculum. It is a feeling. A community built on curiosity, connection, and care. It lives in the way our teachers see each child and in how they help students see themselves as thinkers, creators, and problem-solvers. It lives in the relationships we build and the way we show up for one another, especially when it matters most.
Wherever our students, faculty, and staff go next, they will carry MIS with them in their confidence, their kindness, their curiosity, and their courage to ask questions, take risks, and build meaningful connections.
Once a Lynx, always a Lynx. 🐾
