Eager to show their holiday spirit, MHS faculty and staff dressed in tacky holiday outfits on the last full day of first semester. The most outrageous outfit may have belonged to Bob Cubellis, math teacher, who donned reindeer antlers with red and green ornaments. Other adults countered with electronic displays. For instance, substitute Nancy Sherman wore a sweater with an attached wreath that included battery powered ornaments. Likewise, Christie Grubbs, sixth grade teacher, had an outfit with flashing lights. Also participating was Gary Greene, middle school principal, wore a 3D angel on the front of his sweater. “What?” said Greene. “I think this is a very nice shirt.”

In the spirit: Gary Greene, middle school principal, checks the Springfield News Leader in the high school work room.

Performing an arrangement of holiday favorites, MMS Choir put on a concert for the community on Dec. 17. Sporting T-shirts reading, “Warning: Owner is subject to spontaneous outbursts of song,” middle school singers performed “Alleluia” and “Jingle Bells Rock” as well as other songs.

Songbird: Rushing back to the gym to perform, Katie Peak, eighth grade, still has time for a smile. Peak enjoys middle school choir. "It's an expression of who you are," she said. "You can sing your anger away."
