My Favorite Memories of MCA!

Stuff I'll never forget....

The last day, I got everyone to sign my yearbook and Mr. May made us practice our graduation all morning. He acted like it was brain surgery.

When we had the dances. I loved the student dj's but Artie was the best!

Jessie spilled milk on me cuz she couldn't keep her eye's off the gym teacher!

Kyle and Robbie shaved their heads.

Matt Gilbert left.

I did ads in the yearbook and totally messed up.

All the girls gave the gym teacher a huge 2 foot heart and candy for Valentine's Day! It had all of our pictures on it!

on the last day of 6th grade, all the girls sang "Kokomo" by the Beach Boys....ok, so we were a bit out of touch!

Rachael and Corey sang "My Heart Will Go On" in the talent show.

Torri did the "Men In Black" dance.

Our class watched "Billy Madison" together.

Joe's birthday party...it ruled!

The girls listened to music all day on discman's and the teachers didn't notice!

Kathleen got caught with a bad note that she didn't write and we almost got killed for it!

Kyle and Robbie did the "Safety Dance" in the Talent Show.

All my time in Yearbook...all we did was talk about the Simpsons!

Mr. May dressed up like a king...of course I'll never forget it, he does it every Friday!

I messed up in Mass and read the wrong reading!

When we learned Psalm 1 in Mr. May's class.

I got everyone in class to know about "Sunset Beach"

Our field trips...since there were so few of them.

Sitting by Kaitlin...she always draws and she's so good at it.

We had to read little kid books to the class in funny voices. Chris' rendition of "The Ugly Duckling" and David's "Green Eggs and Ham" were the best.

Miss Marks wouldn't let us have a party because someone put chalk eracers on her seat.

I was on the Matchcounts team.

I won 3rd place in the Science Fair

I was elected Secretary of the Honor Society.

David was President of Student Council.

All of the bus rides...they were so philisophical.

Twin day and clash day.

Veteran's Day at the cemetery with David, Cortnie, Kaitlin, Chris, Rachael, and Joe.

Melissa broke up with Jimmy.

Our Volleyball team never lost a game.

The Jessie, Mr. Hanton saga... he's the gym teacher!

More coming soon!!!!
