Happy Holidays from all of us here at MCSM! Thank you for making our school community such a great one. See you all on January 2, 2024!


The ASR students have been busy with their research projects both in and out of school, but this morning they took a break and gathered with parents and faculty to celebrate the beginning of the winter holiday. Everyone enjoyed breakfast and relaxing with each other as they shared in the excitement of the upcoming New Year.


The Bilingual Club hosted their annual Secret Santa Gift Exchange!
We wish the MCSM Family a happy holiday season and a prosperous New Year!











Mr. Grinchy.. Guilty or Innocent? On Thursday, December 21 and Friday, December 22, Ms. Wolf's Forensic Science Periods 3 and 7 conducted a mock trial of the People of Who-ville v. the Grinch. Students were separated into roles of the prosecution, defense, defendant, jury, court reporters, witnesses, bailiffs and the Who-ville press. The prosecution and defense presented evidence and interviewed our witnesses Cindy Lou and Max in our courtroom. The jury in period 3 found the Grinch... NOT GUILTY on charges including burglary, trespassing, criminal mischief, and harassment. Hats off to the Grinch's defense team for a job well done! Period 7's trial was held on recess until today ay 1:30 pm as new evidence was presented in court without discovery and our interviews of witnesses were getting quite toasty!







On Wednesday, December 20th, Ms. Drmacich and Ms. Rubin took 45 students to see a play on Broadway.
Appropriate, is written by American playwright Branden Jacobs-Jenkins and stars Sarah Paulson, Corey Stoll and Elle Fanning. Some students had never been to a play on Broadway and were so excited to have a chance to experience this. Thank you to all the admin who helped make this trip possible!




On December 20th, AP Haraguchi-Combs & Winchester took the Japanese Club (日本語部)on a field trip to The Japan Society, where we learned to create ukiyo-e (浮世絵) wood block print art; a famous example of this is Katsushika Hokusai's "The Great Wave off Kanagawa" (北斎葛飾-神奈川沖浪裏) which was created by stamping a serious of carved woodblocks, one for each color found in the image. After the workshop, our students experienced a cultural dinner at Japanese BBQ restaurant Gyu-Kaku, where they BBQ'd at their tables which had grills built into them.
