Fostering children’s sense of responsibility and accountability to the community is an important part of the culture and mission of MCS. Every classroom has a job chart that gives each student a role in maintaining the classroom as a productive learning environment. Students help with tasks such as cleaning up materials and setting the tables for snack and lunch. Additionally, beginning with the 6-7s (first grade), each class is in charge of a job that benefits the school community and promotes the concept of interdependence that is key to MCS.
