General School Articles:

Mrs. Sherwood's Class Opera Makes the Paper!

Each year Mrs. Sherwood works with her primary class to produce a class opera. Every student has a role (even the 3 and 4 year olds), and they help make their own costumes and stage props. This year the students performed their version of "Stone Soup: A 'Rock' Opera" on Friday, May 25, 2007 (last year they performed in "Colorville"). The students, and of course Mrs. Sherwood and Mrs. Hattenburg did another outstanding job....they even made the Frederick News Post.

The hard work, dedication, and many volunteer hours by the MVMPCS community during the 2005-6 school year paid off! The school raised their annual pledge drive goal of $30,000 and both of their major fundraisers (the golf tournament and silent auction) were very successful. Thank to everyone involved with the fundraising committees for all of your contributions! Thank you to the entire MMCI community for your support and commitment to MMCI, MVMPCS and education choice!
