School Update
To the students and families of MRS,
This weekend, we encourage families to look to the sky as the final Supermoon of 2024 rises with the possibility of seeing flashes of light from the Taurid and Leonid meteor showers. This is the last Supermoon we will see until late 2025. Supermoons appear bigger and brighter as this is when the Moon is at its closest point to Earth in its elliptical orbit.
Wishing everyone a wonderful weekend.
