We had some amazing helpers with our morning announcements last week! Alice Hall led as a solo act and then Mrs. Barnes's class had a whole crew who kicked off our MST Independence Day. We are so proud of all of you!

Everyday at MST, our students and staff start the day off with our MST Pledge. Last year, some of our students had the great idea to turn the pledge into a song. Mrs. Archibald, the school counselor, oversaw the project and enlisted the talents of Jacob Cline, Aiden Webb, and Kristen McDaniel. These students worked with Mrs. Archibald, Mrs. Tunstall, and Miss Wells to help create the song they wanted. They made something incredible together and we are very excited to share it with you. Introducing....the MST Pledge Song! Click the link below to listen to the song.

Lots of MST family and friends showed up on Sunday to Chalk the Walk for our students. All week long, our students have entered the school building with words of encouragement and affirmations. Thank you to everyone who made these first few days extra special for our students. The 21-22 school year is already off to an amazing start!
Able Robbins was our first MST office helper of the school year and he did an amazing job. Let's also wish him a big Happy Birthday!
IMPORTANT INFORMATION ABOUT CAR RIDER DISMISSAL PROCEDURES:
Thank you yesterday for your patience with dismissal. I assure you it will get smoother each day. In order to ensure our car rider lines run as efficiently as possible, please read the following information in regards to our car rider dismissal procedures.
K- 2 students will be picked up in the FRONT of the school and you should have a GREEN car rider sign to hang in your car window. (Please see our Dismissal Map included with this post).
3-6 students will be picked up at the west end of the school (by the greenhouse) and you should have a BLUE car rider sign to hang in your car window. There are NO LEFT TURNS off the service road into dismissal area allowed during dismissal. You have to make a right hand turn into our west end dismissal area.

3rd-6th grade students who have a sibling in grades K-2 will be picked up at the FRONT entrance with his/her sibling(s). You should have a GREEN car rider sign to hang in your car window with ALL of your students names' listed.
Parents must go through the car rider line to pick up students from school. Parents will not be permitted to park and walk up to the dismissal area or the office to pick students up in the afternoons (at either entrance). This is for your child’s safety and the safety of others.

Several incentives will be available. All participants will be eligible to enter a door prize and win $100 or $50 gift cards at both events. Each family who attends will be given a bag of groceries, and all children 18 and under will receive three days' worth of meals. Additionally, participants 18 and up will receive $20 scratch-off lottery tickets, and participants 12 and up will receive gift cards from the Arkansas Game and Fish Commission.

One of the final units of the year for MST 6th-graders was about the different human body systems. Students made models of the different systems, incorporating technology in their creations.
These amazing 6th graders stuck it out to their final day at MST. They all got to lead the pledge! Thank you, 6th graders, for being absolutely amazing! We can’t wait to see where you go from here.
Today, celebrated the end of school and the start of summer. We said farewell to Mr Cooley and Mrs Whittington and several others. Thank you for all you have invested into our students and staff. MST will miss you all!!
MST STEM Scholarship
MST Librarian, Misty Burt, always designates a charity or
philanthropy to corollate with our Book Fair themes
and our Magnet theme "Creating the Future".
Our campus does coin drives and other events to raise
money for the chosen cause. MST students, faculty
and staff never disappoint when it comes to their
generosity and care for others. This year Ms. Burt chose
to do a STEM scholarship for a lucky MHS student.
Campus efforts collected $1800.00, so it was decided to
honor 3 graduates, $600 each, who plan to
further their education in a STEM related field.
Congratulations to:
Sarah Elizabeth Hood-University of Memphis, Biomedical Engineering
Brett Allen McCain-Christian Brothers University, Biology
and Lillian Grace Kemp-University of Arkansas, Pre-Med.
MST is so excited to be a part of your journey!
