Please see the message below from the MCM Volleyball Team.

On the court, Coach Olson always tells us that a great team leaves everything on the floor. Right now, Coach is facing a tough opponent off the court as she battles some serious health issues, and we are rallying together to form the ultimate support system.

At our match this Friday we are hosting a 'Pass the Volleyball' fundraiser. Between Sets 2 and 3 of the Varsity match, players will be passing buckets through the crowd to collect donations for Coach’s medical and living expenses.

If you can’t make it to the game but still want to help us support Coach, you can donate directly online here. (Venmo QR code) Let’s pack the stands and show Coach she is never fighting alone!

Fire Safety in Action!
Montrose 8th-grade students had a special fire safety lesson during Fire Prevention Week. Our guest speaker, Bob Erickson, explained the five classes of fire (A, B, C, D, and K) and how to respond safely to different types of fires. Students also learned the proper steps for using a fire extinguisher and had the opportunity to practice their skills.
A big thank-you to Bob Erickson for sharing valuable knowledge and helping our students learn important skills to keep themselves, their families, and our community safe!

On Wednesday, Sept 30th, the 5th graders watched an electrical presentation put on by Southeastern Electric. The presenters talked with the students about different kinds of electricity (static, man made, and natural). Students learned about how electricity flows, how it's always trying to get to the ground, and how electricity is produced. Students got to place their hands on a Van de Graaff generator and pedal a bicycle to generate electricity. A fun time was had during the presentation as the students learned about the science of electricity!
