As we near the close of Winter Break, it’s a great time to step back and take a look at the school year so far. 

With our new building effortlessly moving into its first complete school year — and our second playground nearing completion — MCH is hitting its stride. We welcomed a handful of new teachers this year and by this point in time, students and new teachers have created a bond and establishing formative relationships. 

Already MCH has welcomed some exciting after- school learning programs such as Ms. Amy’s Music Club (or Rock Star Training, as some say), ceramics, art by Ms. Michelle and Spanish lessons hosted by Sponge. 

The elementary and kindergarten students have attended several art and theatrical programs such as Dick Whittington and His Cat (at Seattle Children’s Theatre) and The Nutcracker by the Pacific Northwest Ballet; the last year that the Sendak version is being performed. 

As we look forward to Winter Break and 2015, we look forward to even more exciting ‘field trips’ (such as the Reptile Man and the Pacific Science Center's Outrageous Owl Exhibit), Kindergarten students preparing for their annual Tea and graduation event, and elementary students beginning their Passion Projects, where they put together an in-depth presentation about an interest of their choice.
 
All of us at MCH wish you and yours a very happy New Year. See you on Monday!
