Thank you to Jerry with DO ART PRODUCTIONS for dropping by THE MIS. Jerry's message encouraged kids to be creative; be happy; and use art and the imagination to inspire.
Today at THE MIS we had the Rock Paper Scissors Championship. Two weeks ago in PE classes, a champion and runner up were determined. All 32 competitors squared off today to determine who is the "best of the best."
Congrats to:
Ander Usalis - Grand Champion from Mrs Paskauskas
Charlotte Toufar - Runner Up from Mr Galassi
Chezni Freeman - Consolation - Last girl standing after round one from Mrs Abbott
Each class will receive a pizza party
Have a great weekend Ole MIS!
