MCS was on the move on Saturday, June 1st! On the heels of the race/walk in the morning, it was MCS night at the Mallards Game! To top it off 25 current and former students sang the National Anthem to a sold out stadium on the second home game of the season. Under the direction of music teacher, Miss Knitt, they made us proud! Linked below is a video of them singing from the field. Thanks to the Mallards for a fun school family night out! #madisonmallards #togetherwesoar #MCS https://photos.app.goo.gl/2GKp3gjftsBjtPMQ7

MCS 4K students went on a field trip to Circus World. For most of the children it was their first bus ride and there were many giggles on the drive. The Big Top show was fantastic and the final act they enjoyed was watching the Human Cannonball shoot through the air. Thank you to the MCS Home and School Association for helping pay for our school bus transportation! #TogetherWeSoar #ILoveMyMCS

Science is delicious! 4K students used dill they grew in a hydroponic garden to make pickles. The hydroponic garden was funded through a grant from the Sauk Prairie Chamber of Commerce. The students were very excited to help make this yummy snack by practicing how to safely use a knife. Thank you, Sauk Prairie Chamber of Commerce!
