"Where Every Student Learns"

Message From The Principal
This school year is almost over with only three weeks remaining in this semester which has been very successful. We are happy to have everyone working hard to make better grades so that the good may become better and the better become best. The 6th and 7th graders have finished with the TAKS tests, but 8th graders will be retaking the TAKS tests which they failed. Students need to keep up their grades until the end of the year by coming each day prepared to do the assigned work and by doing the work assigned. Also please encourage your child to follow the dress code. Please feel free to contact me at MMS if you have any concerns.

8th Grade Career Investigation Class
On Tuesday, April 22, 2008, thirty-nine MMS students had a great learning experience through a class field trip. Throughout the school year they have been learning about various careers and preparation for careers. These students have also learned from guest speakers, Jimi Lynn, State Farm Insurance, and Terri Trevino, USDA, who attended their class and shared valuable information on their personal career experiences. This field trip was an additional way for students to learn even more. The initial stop was to Rosas Café in Waco, Texas and it was here that the students were given motivational information on responsibility by the manager, William Rivera. Students were treated to an enjoyable lunch by Rosas and after which their lunch guest, Russell Devorsky, Chief of Staff for Staff Representative Jim Dunnam, shared with students about his career and financial opportunities for college. The latter part of the trip was to McLennan Community College and students were given guided tours of the campus by Admissions Specialists from the Office of Student Recruitment.

THURSDAY, MAY 15 IS THE LAST DAY.
The Marlin Middle School Cheerleaders will be selling Memory Books. The cost will be $10.00 each. THE MONEY MUST BE TURNED IN BY THURSDAY, MAY 15, 2008. The memory books will arrive before school is out and be handed out to all who purchased one. In years to come this will be a great source of remembering the good "ole" days at MMS (Spring Fling, Athletic Events, and who knows what else). Thank you for your support.
