MRA's Winter Scholar Celebration was a
smashing success. Awards were given out for GPA,
citizenship, and academic improvement. Other
awards were given for subject-specific achievements
and homeroom participation and effort.
MRA'S 2009 Living History Museum was amazing. The kids put on a show to remember. The show was packed for both nights with parents, community members, and our local representatives.
Special congratulations to Judge Clevert for his MRA Award for excellence!
