Welcome back to another week at MSS! As always, activities and extracurriculars are always in abundance, especially as we begin to enter into the warmer weather.
Last Thursday, April 11 and Friday, April 12, the cafeteria was closed. But fear not! A hot dog sale and soup saved the day. Soup Day is a weekly tradition at MSS. Every Friday, different groups of students, teachers and staff come together and make soup for the student body. Initially organized by Mr. Balfe, Soup Day has gained popularity through soup-themed parodies of songs on the announcements and the free, warm soup at lunch. Now students with different interests and backgrounds all come together and share a meal on Fridays.
MSS’s robotics team is going places—literally! On Tuesday, April 16, Manitoulin Metal packed up and headed off to the FIRST Robotics World Championship in Houston, Texas. This is a major competition where top robotics teams from around the globe come together to showcase their skills. Manitoulin Metal has been working hard all year to produce a competition-worthy robot and experimenting with technologies like a swerve drive, CAD and pneumatics. Good luck in Texas, Manitoulin Metal!
Tennis tryouts have officially kicked off, and the gym doors have a sign-up sheet posted for interested players. Whether you’re a seasoned player or just starting out, tryouts are a great opportunity to show off your skills and join a fantastic team. Don’t miss out!
During the hot dog sale on Thursday, April 11, there was a karaoke party in the cafeteria. Students gathered to watch their peers and even some staff members sing their hearts out. Karaoke is always highly anticipated at MSS and has recently become a monthly tradition.
There are always opportunities for students to get involved outside of their academics whether it is in robotics, soup-making, sports or event-planning.
That is all for this week! Until next time, go, Mustangs, go!
