’Twas the night before Christmas, and all through the school,
Not a locker was rattling, not even a rule.
The halls were quiet, the spirit was bright,
Thanks to all our fun Christmas Spirit Days done just right.
From cozy pajamas to festive flair,
Our students and staff brought holiday cheer everywhere.
On this Christmas Eve, we’re sharing the joy
And wishing our school family joy, laughter, and cheer.
Merry Christmas from all of us at MMS. 🎄🦁

Our 7 Days of Giving has been a huge success, and we are so proud of our students.
Congratulations to the students who raised the most money. They will be getting a pie in the face tomorrow during the Lip Sync Battle. For the first time, we have several ties, which means we’ll see both siblings getting pied. This should be a fun one to watch.
We also want to give a big shoutout to our school . Our goal was $1,000 to see Mr. Morckel and Mr. Hudson get pied in the face, and together we raised an amazing $1,500. WOW!
Thank you to everyone who donated and helped support this cause. Every dollar raised will go directly to the Minerva Salvation Army. Your generosity truly makes a difference. #minervapride 🦁

🎁 Members of the Minerva Rotary have an annual tradition in honor of the late Rev. Dr. Franklin Trubee of providing gifts to students in our resource rooms across the District. 37 students were excited to enjoy breakfast from our MMS cafeteria staff, music courtesy of our 7th grade band and choir, and a special visitor from the North Pole! Thank you Minerva Rotarians for being incredible community partners!
⭐️ Congratulations to Mr. Doug Grindstaff, a true Minerva Lion! 🦁
Today marked Doug’s last day as he retires after 20 dedicated years in maintenance for Minerva Local Schools. Doug always took great pride in his work, and his commitment and care made a lasting impact on our schools and community. He will be greatly missed!
Thank you for everything, Mr. Grindstaff — we appreciate you and wish you all the best in retirement! #MinervaPride
🥧 Pie Wars Update! 🥧
We’re down to the final 2 days before we find out which family member raised the most money and will earn the honor of getting a pie in the face!
The competition is tight, the jars are filling up, and the excitement is building. There’s still time to donate and support a great cause. Who do you think it’s going to be?
Let the Pie Wars continue!

We started a new tradition at MMS this year and it was a big hit. We hosted our first ever Deck the Doorway competition, and we were blown away by the creativity. Check out these amazing doorways. Our staff and students truly outdid themselves.
It was so fun to see students getting involved and really getting into the decorating. Because it was such a success, this may just become a new MMS tradition.
Our judges have already picked their winners, but we want to hear from you. Which doorway was your favorite? #minervapride 🦁
