Wonderful teachers, great Principal (Mr. Adler) - the art teacher is just fantastic (Mrs. Marnie Bird Frost). Both my kids love school because of the atmosphere and academics at MSS. Can't say enough good things. Specially great teachers: 1st grade: Mrs. Emily York; 2nd grade: Ms. Bean and Mrs. Egan - all are wonderful educators! Close Quote
