Welcome back! The magic of the Christmas season is here, excitement is growing, and we're counting our blessings at MMS. We've got a holiday wishlist, inspired by our incredible Decatur friends and family, and we'd love for you to check it out. Change for Santa Cops will be collected on Wednesday and Thursday during lunch and in the car drop-off lines - clean out those consoles! Our Live Thankfully class competition kicks off tomorrow, and AVID is accepting animal shelter donations now.
Reminder: Tomorrow is an early release day!
Ferris Bueller NEVER would have taken a day off, had he attended McCarroll Middle School. 📚😜 Seventh grade students are showing how fun school can be, as they’re leading our attendance competition. It’s pretty exciting to be at school when dissecting frogs is part of the curriculum! Mrs. Sapp and Mrs. Goins are taking learning to a new level with this up close and personal biology lab. 🐸☠️
It may STILL be Election Week in America, but the votes have been cast and counted in the McCarroll Middle School Student Council election. The results are in, and our 2022 StuCo officers are Marley Ballard (President), Jazlyn Flores (Vice President), Hannah Sears (Treasurer), Luke Lowery (Secretary), and Daisy Flores (Historian).
We're proud to announce that Student Council is BACK, and these officers, along with their fellow Student Council members, are already hard at work. Their latest endeavor was to serve wherever needed on Veterans Day - and man, were they a HUGE help! We can't wait to see what great things this group will accomplish not only this year, but beyond. #studentleaders #ourfutureisbright

From the Texas Giant to Mr. Freeze to magnificent marble models...roller coasters are SO MUCH FUN! 6th graders were THRILLED to experiment with roller coaster design today. They've been studying Newton's Laws, potential, and kinetic energy. Our mini mechanical engineers were tasked with designing and building an operational roller coaster using insulation tubing, a marble, and painters tape. #mmsthemepark
The ART of teaching is obvious in Ms. D’s room! 🎨 Did you know that Ms. Diaczenko is a Decatur graduate, she has served 17 years as a Decatur teacher, and she’s hiked 47 miles on the Appalachian Trail?! 🥾 Her favorite part of teaching is the imagination of her students. Her classroom is full of life, just like Ms. D! 💙
