Yesterday students and staff members joined together with law enforcement to support Special Olympics in the annual Torch Run. Starting at Southern Boulevard School, runners followed a route that passed all Chatham schools. We were excited to welcome students back to the sidelines this year to cheer the runners on as they passed each school.

Nick Bruel writer of the Bad Kitty series visited MAS last week for Author's Day. Bruel taught students how to craft and illustrate stories. Students put their artistic skills to work, designing buttons in preparation for his visit and had the opportunity to get books signed. Author's Day is a highlight every year and is may possible by the PTO.
