Dear MCCPS community:

The Humanities Department at MCCPS has taken on a new initiative. Because community is central to our mission at MCCPS, we’ve decided to read together – as a community – the young reader’s version of the book Three Cups of Tea by Greg Mortenson. Mortenson’s book explores – in vivid, engaging writing - his own transformation from nurse and mountaineer to philanthropist and humanitarian.

The book engages on many levels, and we hope that this initiative will work to do the following: build community, promote literacy, and broaden our perspective about the world around us. These motivations fit neatly and nicely into the stated mission of our school.

Each student in grades 4-8 will receive a copy of the book to read. Students will participate in class-wide and school-wide activities; they will read, discuss and do projects.

We encourage you, parents and friends, to participate with us to really make this a community-wide experience. Get yourself a copy of the book and read with us. Join us at upcoming – to be announced – morning meetings where we will have presentations and activities related to the book and the stories which it tells.

We look forward to making this a lasting, important, and impactful experience. Please join us in making it so.

Sincerely,

Ryan Redmond, Humanities Department Head, MCCPS

It is that time year again. Exhibition is right around the corner. Join us Monday, November 23rd for our exhibition of student work. The festivities start in Charter Hall from 6:30pm to 7:00pm with our opening ceremony. From 7:00pm to 8:30pm, students will present their work throughout the school. Some sampling of student work includes: engineered bridges and cars, student-created civilization, and a poetry café. We hope to see you there.

Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s),
Here at MCCPS, we are all working together to clean up our planet!  We would like to share with you our current attempts to be resourceful and eco-friendly. Recently, our school has started a compost pile from our extra food scraps.  In addition, many students donate regularly to Terracycle, a company that “upcycles” trash into products, such as pencil cases and school bags.  We are doing very well with the Terracycle Fundraiser and we would like to expand the opportunities for our community to partake in this project. If your family eats, drinks, or uses any products than can be made into a Terracycle product, please bring it to our school. It would help us a great deal! Spread the word and feel good about helping the Earth we live on!
 
Sincerely,
Grace, Anya, & Madison
7th grade students

MCCPS has sent it's first shipment to Terracycle's Drink Pouch Brigade!  We are still collecting Honest Kids, Capri-Sun, Scott wrappers, Kashi wrappers, Bear Naked containers, and Aveeno containers.  We earn $.02 for each piece of trash!

 **New! We also were just invited to join the Cookie Wrapper Brigarde and the Chip Bag Brigade.

Eco-Art enjoyed a wonderful field trip to the Peabody Essex Museum.  Check out the global Trash Menagerie to help us with ideas for next term.  Here's the link to some really cool global Eco-art movements:

Eco-Art will begin new projects after the New Year!  We are now collecting old buttons, plastic lids of all shapes and sizes, and old makeup for our upcoming art endeavors.
