Calling all Artists!
The MCSS 2024 Art Showcase theme is 'Safe Spaces'.
Capture the essence of security within the school environment through your unique perspective. From the physical to the emotional, express what makes you feel safe. Showcase the collaborative efforts that contribute to school safety, and let your artwork be a powerful testament to the strength of Maryland learning communities.  Submission deadline is June 7, 2024.  Download the flyer here.  
Donation Shed - Just a reminder that the donation shed is located in the school parking lot and only accepts clothing donations.  No mattresses, toys, rags, fabric scraps, pillows, toys or household items.   Please refrain from putting items in there that clearly do not belong.  If you have any doubt, leave it out.  Please take the time to read the signs on the outside of the shed to see what is acceptable.
