Big thanks to our incredible community partner, Larson Holiday Farm! 🌲🙌

Last spring, on the very day severe storms downed many of our beloved trees, the Larsons proactively reached out to offer their support—donating and planting new pine trees for our Pinetown play area. Yesterday, Paul Larson and former MCS student Clayton (who’s still got skills on the red bars!) came by to plant six beautiful new additions to our pine grove: two Scotch Pines and four White Pines.

The Larson family has supported MCS for years, and we were honored to nominate them for the 2026 WASB Business Honor Roll. Superintendent Wright was on-site to officially present them with the award!

Jenna McCann, fifth-grade teacher and outdoor space steward, will be leading her students in keeping the trees watered as they take root.

Thank you, Larson family, for growing with us! 💚

What a fun Homecoming Parade! 🎉

MCS students rocked their shades and brought all the school spirit today. Seeing their excitement makes you realize just how special these traditions are—they’re already dreaming about their turn to be in the parade!

A huge thank you to the Marching Band for an amazing preview of the halftime show in the stadium beforehand. Now, it’s time to cheer on the Eagles tonight! See you under the lights! 🦅🏈✨

We were pleased to host the UW Stevens Point LEAF Forestry Education workshop today! Our trees in the school forest and on the playground were perfect for practicing measurement techniques and activities.
Tree-mendous!

Apples, fall, and farms galore in 4K these past 2 weeks. Students enjoyed homemade applesauce, building with wood cookies, and playing Simon Says with Mr. Jeff. They also had a good time creating pig faces and singing Old McDonald had a kangaroo!

From seeds to snacks! Fourth graders enjoyed a feast of watermelon that began last spring during third grade gardening time. Worth the wait!

Teacher field trip! Three MCS teachers spent the day at Horicon Marsh for a Wings, Wetlands, and Water workshop. Wonderful!
