In celebration of Read Across America Week and honoring Dr. Seuss, our preschoolers had another special guest reader today! 📚✨ Miss Kassi joined the fun and read Fox in Socks — and let’s just say, those silly tongue twisters had everyone giggling! 🦊🧦 The kids loved trying to keep up with all the rhymes and tricky phrases (and Miss Kassi nailed it!). We are so thankful for staff members who take time out of their day to pour into our littlest learners. There’s something so special about building a love of reading through laughter, rhythm, and a whole lot of Seuss-style silliness. ❤️ What a fun way to celebrate reading together! 📖🎉

Mrs. Rasmus is bringing the magic of reading to life this week as we celebrates Read Across America Week in honor of Dr. Seuss! 📚✨ She invited staff members from around the building to come read to her preschoolers each day — such a fun way to build relationships with our youngest learners and show them that reading is something we all love! Today’s theme was a classic — Green Eggs and Ham — and Mrs. Rasmus went all out by making green eggs and ham for her students to actually try! 💚🍳 Some were brave, some were skeptical… but everyone had fun! Our very first guest reader was Mrs. Lee, who did a wonderful job bringing the story to life. The smiles, giggles, and wide-eyed excitement said it all! To make it even sweeter, Scarlett soaked up plenty of belly scratches from the students after the read aloud — the perfect ending to a great morning. 🐾 What a creative and engaging way to celebrate reading while building connections across our school family. We love seeing our staff pour into these little learners! Stay tuned to see who tomorrow’s guest reader will be! 📖💕

Building the future of Melcher-Dallas sports starts in the weight room!

We invite all students in grades 7–12th to our morning work out sessions every

Week Day at 6:00 AM, M-D High School weight room. Monday, Wednesday
and Friday will be regular weightlifting/work out. Tuesdays and
Thursdays we will work on Speed and Agility.

Why your children need to be in the weight room?
Consistent weightlifting is about more than just getting "big." It is
essential for:

Performance: Increasing speed, explosive power, and overall strength.
Safety: Developing the durability needed to reduce injury risks during the game.
Growth: Supporting long-term athletic development.

Off-season prep is where champions are made. Whether your student
plays football, volleyball, softball, wrestling, or any other sport,
staying consistent year-round ensures they are ready to dominate the
moment the season starts.

Don’t let a ride stop them: If your student wants to participate but
transportation is an issue, please reach out to us so we can help!

Let’s get to work, Saints! The future of our programs is in your hands.
