Mrs. Aguilera and Ms. Montoya took some of their art students on a trip to Santa Fe! They braved 28 mph winds and a flash blizzard to enjoy a number of art museums, a farmers and art market, and the original MeowWolf exhibit! It was amazing to experience the innovation, imagination, and culture while showing our students that art is a viable and appreciated career!
This is a reminder that Friday, April 19, is an Early Release Day! FMS will dimiss at 11:20 a.m. Please plan accordingly!

Wednesday, April 10th, all MHS Juniors will participate in Arizona state standardized testing, which consists of the national ACT test. If you are a parent or guardian of an 11th grade student, please encourage them to get proper rest, eat something good, and try their best on every question. Even if they don't plan to go to college, every score counts!
Parents/Guardians:
Arizona will experience a solar eclipse; therefore, FMS will follow a “rainy-day” schedule with indoor recess to ensure the safety of our students. Classes that will be using the eclipse as a learning experience should have already sent home permission slips & will be utilizing verified & approved viewing glasses. Total time of the eclipse will be from 10:08 am-1:02 pm. If you sent your child to school with viewing glasses and give him/her permission to view the eclipse, you will need to come into the office prior to 10am to sign a note giving your child permission to do so, or you can sign your child out to view the eclipse with you. Thank you for your understanding and support.

We're excited to share that our athletic field turf renovations are complete! Thanks to Freeport McMoRan, Arcadis, General Acrylics, and the Morenci community for making this possible. The transformation is incredible, and it's fantastic to see how these fields have improved our community's look. Not only do they look great, but they also provide an excellent environment for our student-athletes to excel. MUSD is grateful for all the support and can't wait for many successes and memorable moments on these fields!
Come see live action on the baseball field at the 44th Lions Tourney, April 11 -13.

Check out the latest addition to the MUSD fleet, BIG RED, designed by Jade Chavez, an MHS Alumnus - Class of 2014. Big Red features Morenci's iconic mountain outline and a historical tribute on the front - "the tunnel" that signified to many that they were in Wildcat Country on "The Hill."
If you spot Big Red on the road, give us a big wave! Your support means the world to our students as they travel to events to enrich their journey at MUSD.
Stay tuned for more updates and adventures with Big Red!
