Congratulations to our 8th Grade "mathletes" who competed to memorize the most digits of pi in celebration of Pi Day! Students worked hard last week to earn a spot in Mrs. Keaschall's Pi Day Championship, which took place today.
Third place was Sophia P. who memorized 52 digits while Addi C. took second place memorizing and reciting 54 digits. First place was Mallori R. with an incredible 132 digits of pi!! 🤩
We are proud of all of our Raiders who participated! It's not very common to know more than a few digits of the irrational number pi, but these kiddos made it look like a "piece of pie!"
Raiders - May your troubles be less, your blessings be more, and nothing but happiness come through your door.
Happy St. Patrick's Day!

Our MCMS 8th grade Volleyball Regional Champions ended their season last night. These amazing athletes did something no other MC team has done, they made it to the sweet 16!! The Lady Raiders ended their season 16-5. These ladies need to hold their heads high because there were so many accomplishments this season!
Last night we lost to Peoria Christian 22-25 and 21-25. This loss didn’t come without some amazing plays for the Lady Raiders. Eliza had six points for the evening. Right behind her were Amelia and Addison with 5 points each. Eliza had 7 kills and Kayleigh had 4. Abby and Hailey both helped in the front row. Grace stepped in and helped in the back row. Emma had assist after assist. The bench killed it doing everything they could to help their teammates.
As the season closes, the coaches want every Lady Raider to know how great they are!! The growth this year is amazing! These athletes soak up the knowledge of the game. They continue to work to be the best athletes. The bond they have will give them endless opportunities.
We need to give a shout out to one of their biggest supporters… our bus driver, Jim! He makes sure these girls get to every game safely, and so much more. He was the first one on the court telling these girls how great they did. Jim has made this season better and he is an important part of our team.
We want to thank everyone who came and cheered us on throughout the season. Last night we definitely had the better crowd!! Thank you to the booster club!! Thank you #MCRaiderNation
IT’S GREAT TO BE A RAIDER!!!

We are so proud our Raiders and our community! With each unit collected, one or more of our senior NHS members have an opportunity to earn a scholarship.
