First Day of School!

Two cherished MDS traditions are celebrated on the first day of a new school year: commencement and flag raising.

Dr. Mikusa officiates the commencement ceremony by inviting students to set their intentions and celebrate the beginning of a new school year.

Each morning the fourth-grade class raises the flag in front of our campus. On the first day of a new school, the tradition is honored when the responsibility is passed from last year’s fourth graders to this year’s fourth graders.

We had a great first day of school! It was wonderful to feel the excitement from our students and teachers and we are looking forward to another great year at MDS!
