Miamisburg Middle School

Happy National Education Support Professionals Day! Education Support Professionals (ESPs) include individuals who provide essential clerical services, custodial and maintenance services, food services, health and student services, paraeducation, security services, skilled trades, technical services, and transportation services. Our ESPs are essential to providing our students with a good education – one that includes reliable transportation, safe and clean buildings, nutritious food, and a helpful administration. Thank you to every one of our devoted ESPs for your hard work!

Last week MMS Team 11 Students decorated graves for Veteran's Day at Hillgrove Cemetery.

American Education Week is a spotlight on public education, to inform the community of the accomplishments & needs of public schools, & to honor individuals who show up every day enthusiastic & ready to inspire a lifelong love of learning in every student. Celebrate this week by thanking an educator, administrator or support staffer!

World Kindness Day reminds us that kindness matters. Being kind to others can change the course of a day or even a life. We know that kindness can change the world, so to celebrate this day, we challenge you to commit to do at least one intentional act of kindness today.

MMS Team 8 had the pleasure of spending the afternoon listening to five veterans and one active service member. Left to right... Todd Inskeep (Air Force), Bill Stalder (Air Force), Yolanda Matthews (Navy), Bill Trent (Air Force), Darrell Webb (Army), Bart Gardner (Air Force)
