Learning never takes a break at MCM! ✏️ Last week, JPS students completed MCM’s summer reading camp, Read to Succeed, which consists of daily lessons and one-on-one tutoring.

This camp is designed to help rising 3rd Grade students strengthen their reading skills, build confidence, and prepare for success on the 3rd Grade Reading Assessment. 📚 We are proud of the hard work shown by both the students and teachers this week. Thank you to Junior League of Jackson for volunteering their time and helping make this program such a success! ❤️

Thank you to Atmos Energy for helping set-up our end of the week celebration! 🥳
