May 17 Phone Message

Friday Message:  May 17

Hello this is Wade Martin calling from Middle Creek HS with some important announcements about events happening at the Creek.

Before I get to next week, remember, our Boy’s Baseball team plays tonight in the third round of the State Playoffs at Fuquay tonight at 7:00.  It’s going to be a great night to watch a great game.  Come out to Fuquay and cheer on those Mustangs.

Events going on next week:

This Sunday afternoon at 3:00, Mr. Enloe and the MCHS Band will have their final concert of the year.  The music will no doubt be great so I encourage you stop and hear them play. 

Monday at 7:00 we will be holding the 2nd annual Digital Media Academy Awards Night.  The event will be held in the MCHS auditorium.

Tuesday, the Lady Mustang Softball team will play again in the fourth round of the State Playoffs.  The game location will be decided by the winner of tonight’s matchup between Apex and Wake Forest-Rolesville.  We will keep you posted. 

On Wednesday we will be honoring our seniors at the Senior Award Night Celebration of Scholarship.  The event begins at 6:00 and will be held in the gymnasium.  There will be brief reception in the commons following the award presentations.

The weather is now warm and it is starting to feel like summer. As we close out the next few weeks of school that lead up to exams, encourage your students to put forth their best effort finish this school year strong.  There will be time for taking it easy when summer officially arrives for them in three weeks.  Thanks and have a great weekend.

13 Years of Perfect Attendance.....what?

on .

Very often "Leading galloping mustangs" are recognized for outstanding performance in athletics, arts, and academics.  Today I would like to recognize a student for his exemplary dedication not only to Middle Creek, but also to his entire educational career.  In the next 10 days, MCHS senior, Keenen Herring will complete 13 years of perfect attendance to school.  Since his first day of Kindergarten, Keenen has been present to school each and every day.  This is an accomplishment that very few students have ever achieved.  With the help of Mr. Wray's printing graphics students, we have created buttons for Keenen to wear so that students and staff can continue to encourage and congratulate Keenen over his last 10 days. Congratulations to Keenen!"
