Thank you so much for your support this month. Our Box Tops drive raised $960.10! If you've ever wondered whether all the effort was worth it to clip them, store them, and prepare them for turn-in, now you know! We appreciate you doing it, and we also appreciate you showing up at our Spirit Night at Climb Murfreesboro on February 24. We had 67 climbers and the proceeds to Discovery were
$328.67; but just as important was the FUN we had hanging out together. We can't wait to do it again at our next Spirit Night at Chipotle on March 12 (see below) and at our Food Around the World festival in May (also below).

Denise Perkins, Special Education Teacher
I have been in education for 20 years and have worked with children from infants to 6th graders. I received my BS and MEd from MTSU. This is my 3rd year with MCS. I love to make learning exciting and fun for my students. I live in Murfreesboro with my husband, 3 children, a dog, and 2 gerbils. When I am not at school, I enjoy reading and traveling with my family.
