MCS was able to host a talent show for coyotes to showcase some of their talents before spring break. Talents ranged from dancing, singing, beat boxing, magic tricks, martial arts, cheering, to playing the piano! It was incredible to see the talent that we have, and it was inspiring to see these courageous coyotes get up on stage to share it with an audience.

Students were creative as they included various types of poetry like concrete, cinquain, acrostic, haiku and free verse. Staff and students from other classrooms were able to leave some feedback during the Poetry Walk.
