40 years go by in a blink of an eye...just ask Lois Ann Hayes, a retired M-W teacher who returned to the classroom this year to fill a leave position in the MS. Ms. Hayes began teaching during the 1983-84 school year and spent much of her career shaping young lives in M-W. Once a Crusader. Always a Crusader. 🤗💜⭐️ #mwlegacy #crusaderpride #mwinspiresuccess

Mr. Foley wears many hats at M-W!😀 In addition to serving as a school safety officer at Smith Clove, he and his lovely wife spread Christmas cheer throughout our community by dressing up as Mr. and Mrs. Claus.🎅🏻🤶🏻 Their only request is that anyone who wishes donate money to a charity of their choice. This year, The Cozy Café at MWHS was the blessed recipient of more than $6,000 in donations raised by Mr. and Mrs. Foley. Thank you so much for your kindness and generosity! Our students are so grateful!💜🙏
