Halloween Part 1...A tribute to Anna McDonald took home the grand prize. All themes and costumes were so good. Thanks to everyone for a fun day at The Mac!

Students, staff, and parents of Wilson Creek and Anna McDonald schools participate in Halloween festivities. A group of teachers from Anna McDonald's staff pays tribute to their former principal, Anna McDonald, by dressing up in her honor. Have you noticed how the teachers at Wilson Creek have fully embraced the Barbie theme?

MJHS students in Mrs. Tooley's class shared 'Scary Stories' with parents, staff, School Board Secretary Terry Doyle, and Superintendent Rusty Ragon. The kids did a fantastic job writing, creating posters, and reading their scary stories!

It was a BATTY week in 1st grade. Our first grade classes finished a week of studying bats by spending their day learning in bat caves!

Our 2nd Grade students spent time learning and exploring at Plum Creek Nature Center this week!

Special thanks to our AMAZING PTO for hosting the annual Halloween Dance at MJHS! Our students had a blast!

Check out the newest drone footage for the new school construction! https://www.manhattan114.org/o/msd-114/page/new-manhattan-junior-high-building-info

Superintendent Rusty Ragon, accompanied by Assistant Principal Vince Perillo, Athletic Director Gina Burlison, and site Superintendent Jeff Dvork, recently conducted a tour of the new MJHS building. During the tour, they had the pleasure of meeting Chad Stoner, a Manhattan local who is contributing to the project as a skilled carpenter/foreman. Chad's personal story is truly inspiring as he resides in the area and is now fulfilling a successful career in construction right here in Manhattan. This tour was a reflection of the dedicated efforts of everyone involved in making this project a reality. We're thrilled about the new MJHS and all the possibilities it holds!

Our 2nd graders enjoyed a visit from the Manhattan Fire Department for Fire Safety Month. Exploring the truck and ambulance is always a highlight. Today's visit was even more exciting because one of the firefighters attended Wilson Creek when it opened!

Lauren Corcoran will be joining us for the 23/24 school year as an Instructional Assistant for Wilson Creek. Welcome to MSD#114, Lauren!
