ACT Aspire Testing Week has come to an end! But, it wasn't just all hard work. We mixed in a little fun and games, too. Our Pep Rally Kick-Off and our Prize Raffles helped inspire our MST students to "Rock That Test, What?!" Special thanks to MJHS for allowing us to use their gym. Also to MHS for bringing the spirit with their Pep Band and Cheerleaders! #teamMST #creatingthefuture #ONEpatriotONEcommunity

The Wall that Heals
4th and 5th grade students traveled to the Wall that Heals during its stay in Crawfordsville. Students got to see the memorial replica and got to experience the mobile education center which also travels with the memorial. "The exterior of the trailer features a timeline of “The War and The Wall” and provides additional information about the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. Additional exhibits give visitors a better understanding of the legacy of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial and the collection of items left at The Wall." The mobile education center also pays special tribute to the Hometown Heroes of the specific community that the Wall is currently visiting.
Thank you will never be enough to every Hero who has served or is serving, but we remember and we will continue to educate our students about the sacrifices you have made to keep our country safe and free.

THE WALL THAT HEALS
MST students participated in a very special moment yesterday as the Wall that Heals traveled through Crittenden County on its way to Crawfordsville. Students lined the road see memorial replica and its motorcade of veterans drive through. Students waved American Flags and celebrated them as they traveled past.
The Wall that Heals is a replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington DC put together by the Vietnam Veterans Memorial Fund. "Bringing The Wall home to communities throughout our country allows the souls enshrined on the Memorial to exist once more among family and friends in the peace and comfort of familiar surroundings. The traveling exhibit provides thousands of veterans who have been unable to cope with the prospect of facing The Wall to find the strength and courage to do so within their own communities, thus allowing the healing process to begin."

The Wall that Heals will be in Crawfordsville from April 7th-April 10th. Some of our students will be going to visit during school hours with their grade levels and will also get to visit the mobile education center. The memorial will be open and available to all visitors for 24 hours each day during its visit.
