Each day is a fresh start for a new beginning! Have a great weekend, Crusaders!
At the February 19 Board of Education meeting, 8th grade twins Hailee and Madison Lendor were recognized for their incredible act of kindness toward a neighbor in need.

If you want honest feedback, ask a first grader. MWHS students in Ms. Rivelli’s English class visited Sapphire Elementary and read children’s picture books they had authored and illustrated themselves. Tiny faces hung on every word as the HS students bravely asked the first graders their opinions. Interactions such as this between our youngest Crusaders and high school students will always be a cherished tradition at M-W! 📖💜
