4-12 Choral Concert

Congratulations to all our choral groups who performed on Thursday the 27th of March. Each group performed two songs including solos from Hanah Murakami and Josh Bartolotta and accompaniment from Lauren Lundrigan and Rachel Randall on flute with Jack Santariello on bass drum. In conclusion the choirs performed together as a 4-12 chorus of over 250 voices! Together with the audience our students sang the MCS Alma Mater. The concert was closed with the combined choirs singing Seasons of Love from "Rent".  Students worked very hard over the last few months to pull it all together. The audience was standing room only! Thank you all for attending. It was an awesome event.

Thank you to everyone who participated in our community dinner to celebrate community service. Whether you helped set up, serve, clean up, made desserts, made donations, entertained, played games, or enjoyed our spaghetti dinner your presence and participation was greatly appreciated. This event is truly a team effort made possible by so many people. It was a great evening with over 250 people in attendance! Students from National Honor Society, Student Council along side many faculty members helped serve. Teen Institute and Peace Through Language clubs ran a Kidzone. The Jazz Band entertained.
