Walk-a-Thon for Charity

MEMS participated in a walk-a-thon event to raise money to help support the fight against multiple sclerosis. The event took place after school on Thursday, May 24, 2012. Students enjoyed hot dogs, lemonade, chips, a raffle, and of course, a fun walk around the MEMS track.

We had over 300 students come out for the event. We raised over $2000 for charity. Every walker received a medal from the National Multiple Sclerosis Society. Relay -4- MS was a terrific event enjoyed by all!

American History

Beta Social Studies students used primary sources on the archives website to rewrite the Declaration of Independence in their own words & were able to actually sign their name to a copy of the Declaration. They also did a project on the Founding Fathers & will be voting for a "Founding Father Idol".
