Thank You to ALL of our MSA Parents

Thank You to the Community

I would like to take a moment to thank all of the MSA family for everything they did for my family and me. Cancer is never a nice word, it is horrible when you put terminal on the front of it, but it also shows the goodness in all people as you fight the mighty battle. I feel so very blessed to be a part of a community that is kind and caring. The meals, cards, and gifts of sunshine helped this become a fight with smiles, strength formed from others having our back and knowing that kind prayers were backing us all the way. No words can ever express the kindness, prayers, and thoughts for my family and myself during this time of crisis in our family. Please continue the prayers and thoughts as we proceed forward in our fight against cancer.

Love you all so, Courtney Smith

p.s. Courtney will finish the planned treatment, but as of right now, the cancer is in remission.

SENIORS: Keep Up With Friends

You are DONE with your high school career and are now an ALUMNI! How awesome! I bet you thought it would never get here.
There are a couple things you need to know about being an Alumni of the Class of 2017:

• First, you can still keep up wit your friends through MUSTANG (yes, the place where you have gone to get homework).
• Second, you can still get the MSA Weekly News sent to you.

In order for those two things to happen, you must send me your personal email - not your MSA millsprings.org email because that goes away soon - but your personal email address. Just CLICK HERE and send me that info and I will take care of the rest.

RIGHT NOW you have access to the Alumni Portal in MUSTANG - but when school gets out that access will go away if you don't send me your personal email. So do it today, RIGHT NOW while you are thinking about it. They you can use your current password to access MUSTANG after you graduate to keep up with your friends.

SO CLICK HERE and send me your email address today! OH and keep in touch! We love to hear what is going on with everyone!

Mad Tea Party

The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde

Guest Journalists - Andrew Buchberger and Zach Burns

6th grade, Middle School

This past month and a half, we read The Strange Case of Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Hyde in Mrs. Gretchen's 4th and 5th period classes. There are 4 main characters. One is a serious lawyer, Mr. Utterson. who is friends with a man named Dr. Jekyll. Dr. Jekyll seems to be a normal person, but he is hiding a dirty secret. There is also a man named Edward Hyde who has been trampling and even murdering people. Mr. Utterson and Dr. Jekyll are also friends with a doctor called Dr. Lanyon. They have been friends since childhood but Dr. Lanyon has been isolating himself from Jekyll more and more for the last 10 years due to a difference of opinion regarding medicine. Jekyll is willing to experiment and to involve the supernatural but Dr. Lanyon is a pedant, which means he is precise in his teaching and concerned about pure science.  READ MORE
