Dear MCC School Family, All of the Scottvile MCC campus and the city of Scottville are currently experiencing a power outage. We are going to finish out the school day as normal as possible. While it will be a bit darker, our bathroom facilities are fully functional. The power is expected to be restored later this afternoon, and everything should be business as usual from there on. Stay Strong Spartans!!

Dear MCC School Family, First and foremost... our scheduled Mid -Winter Break - scheduled with a half-day on Friday, February 14th and a full day off on Monday, February 17th (Presidents' Day) are still a go. So don't change your plans. Some rumors have started to circulate that due to the number of snow days (9) we have had this winter, that the break would be cancelled. Just so you are aware, we are allotted 6 automatic snow days from the state and can seek a waiver for an additional 3 for a total of 9 before having to make any additional days up. We are also aware many of you have made plans for the long weekend and a change in the calendar at this late date would be a terrible inconvenience for you. Have A Great Day, Spartans!!

The kids participate in 5 different stations, each in a different classroom in the MSU Engineering Building on the East Lansing campus. I added the list of courses they have the option of picking from, which include everything from coding a robot for a task, to making elephant toothpaste, building the strongest buildings and bridges out of marshmallows and tooth picks, to making your own ice cream. They do a good job of walking through the chemistry, physics, and material science of what’s happening and why for each of the activities. Deadline to register is February 12.
