On Tuesday October 11th the MCC/F Warriors cross country team competed at the Adrian Ellsworth Dragons Invitational. The Adrian golf course is dreaded by many as it is really quite hilly with not much flat ground. The 85 degree windy weather also added to the difficulty of the race. But the unfavorable weather conditions did not seem to faze the Warriors cross country team as they went out and ran some impressive races. The girls team won the Adrian Ellsworth Dragons Invitational with 36 points beating second place Luverne by 22 points. Once again winning the girls race was Amanda Overgauuw with a time of 18:38. Ashley Overgauuw finished in 19:44 earning her second place spot. In sixth place was Brylei Schreier running a 21:53. Next up in tenth place was Sophia Nelson running an impressive 22:46.

PBIS at MCC Elementary By Nikki Cheskie The MCC Elementary PBIS program (also known as Rebel Pride) has enjoyed a successful start to the new school year. PBIS stands for Positive Behavior Interventions and Support. This is a school-wide program designed to teach and reinforce positive behaviors in all of our students. Our PBIS program is based on “The 3 R’s” – Be Respectful, Be Responsible, and Be Ready to Learn. Students who are caught demonstrating the 3 R’s are awarded with a “Rebel Buck”. Rebel Bucks are collected and placed in a big bin on a weekly basis. At the end of each week, 10 students have their names drawn from the bin for a variety of rewards. In September, many Rebel Pride winners enjoyed riding in a police car with some of our local law enforcement. In October, some students have gotten to help be a student manager at a Rebels football game. Reward choices change on a monthly basis. Teachers are also allowed to set PBIS goals at the classroom or grade level.
