These students represented MUMS at a one-day Middle School Academic Quiz Bowl on Thursday, May 15th. They played five matches that included ELA, social studies, math, science, and geography questions as well as an Alphabet Round and a Lightning Round. Our students finished the day with two wins and two losses. The bowl was held at Dixie High School and included two teams from Beavercreek middle schools, two teams from Dixie Middle School, and MU. The event was sponsored by the Montgomery County ESC.
Congratulations to Mrs. Galentine (Advisor) and these students on an outstanding performance today!
Our students looked spectacular all dressed up for their prom organized by the Miami County ESC. Students in the Milton-Union class of Ms. Embry were all smiles as they headed out today! A photographer captured everyone's prom memories, and a DJ played dance music all afternoon. Needless to say, a great time was had by all who attended!
