MCC Upper Elementary - Our Actions Will Inspire and Equip Students to Excel

Let's get in the Holiday Spirit!!!! Friday December 19th is Pajama Day at the Upper Elementary!

Tomorrow is Grinch/Wear GREEN Day at the Upper Elementary!

Our halls are officially in the holiday spirit! 🎄✨ Our upper elementary classrooms went all out for our holiday door decorating contest, and the creativity is next level. From festive fun to winter wow, these doors are spreading cheer one hallway at a time. ❄️🎨 Great job to our students and staff for bringing the joy—and friendly competition! Which one is your favorite? 👀🎁

Our third-grade class is excited to announce that we will be collecting coffee supplies for the Scottville Senior Center as part of our Christmas Community Service Project. We will be accepting donations until Friday, December 19. The Senior Center kindly requests the following items:
Regular Ground Coffee
Decaffeinated Ground Coffee
Individual Packets of Powdered Creamer
Individual Packets of Sugar or Sugar Substitute
On Friday, December 19, our third-grade students will have the joy of wrapping the donations and then taking a bus trip to the Senior Center. There, we’ll share warm moments with the seniors and present them with our thoughtful gifts. We deeply appreciate your support in making this community service project a success.

Just a reminder that tomorrow Dec 12th is Tree Topper Day here at the Upper Elementary. Students can wear Santa hats, antlers, or any fun, school appropriate Christmas hat to school!

Today at MCC Upper Elementary we celebrated two VERY important holidays: 🎄 Ugly Christmas Sweater/X-mas Shirt Day and… 🎉 6-7 Day — because apparently saying “siiiiixxx-seevvvveeeennnn” never gets old for our kids (but definitely does for the adults 😅). Our students showed up festive, fabulous, and FULL of that 6-7 energy. Ugly sweaters? Elite. Holiday shirts? On point. Chanting “siiiiiix-seeeevvveeeennn”? …Relentless. We loved every wild, cheerful minute. 💙💛 Here’s to 67 days of learning, laughing, and loving these awesome kids!

Tomorrow, Dec. 5th is Ugly Sweater or Christmas Shirt Day at the Upper Elementary! Show your holiday spirit by wearing a FUN shirt!

Here is the QR code to sign up for boys basketball - grade 3-6. Practices will begin in January, games will be on Saturdays in January and February. Payment is due be the first day of practice. If you have any questions, please reach out to Coach VanderHaag at cvanderhaag@gmail.com. Go Spartans!

Ms. J’s 3rd graders wrapped up The BFG this week, and what better way to celebrate all that hard reading work than with a movie…and some Frobscottle! 💨💚 Our readers were all smiles as they enjoyed seeing the story come to life on screen. We love celebrating great books and even greater effort! 📚✨ #MCCSpartans #ThirdGradeReads #BFGFun #ReadingMagic

Winter is here! As we head into another Northern Michigan winter, we want to be sure all of our students stay warm, safe, and comfortable during recess.

If your family needs help getting winter gear, please contact our office staff—we are happy to connect you with resources. Thank you for helping keep our Spartans warm and ready to enjoy outdoor play!
