MCMS 6th Grade Student Spotlight: Adarius Larson
Adarius stepped up this past week and not only asked questions for himself but for other students. When he was stuck, he always raised his hand and when those around him were stuck he helped them to the best of his abilities. Adarius has not only been helpful he’s been a kind and caring peer to those around him and his teachers! Great job Adarius!
