Middle School

Congratulations to our amazing November Students of the Month! They were selected by staff as students who consistently show Sailor PRIDE and outstanding character. We're so proud of them and all the positive behavior they model at MSMS!

Congratulations to our Tri 1 Ride With Pride drawing winners! These students committed to the Ride With Pride pledge and each won a $50 gift card donated by Mrs. Jurkas! Ride With Pride promotes healthy habits and positive behaviors and we'll have more prizes throughout the year!

Wishing our FTC teams Infrared and Ultraviolet good luck today at their Big Rapids Competition! 🌊🎉⚓️🤖🦾

Our cafeteria was bustling with excitement as the school store was opened and students could spend their hard-earned PRIDE passes on some awesome merch to celebrate positive behavior this trimester! Big thanks to our Parent CREW for all the donations and for running the store!

Registration for the Spring 2026 season of Girls On The Run is officially OPEN! This after-school program is about way more than just running — it’s a place where girls build confidence, make new friends, and discover their limitless potential. Let’s lace up for another season of joy, movement, and empowerment! 🏃‍♀️✨ All 6th-8th grade girls are invited, with financial assistance available. Secure your girl’s spot today: www.gotrwm.org/programs

To celebrate the ending of a SUCCESSFUL first trimester, the School Store will be opening. Students have been earning pride passes and will have a chance to spend them at the store. In order for this to be successful, we need donations. Please review the Amazon list and purchase if you are able. This is a great way to support the MSMS Parent Crew and students. THANK-YOU!
