Recognizing Neighborhood Heroes

Understanding and appreciating the everyday heroes in our cities and neighborhoods inspired the first grade’s yearlong focus on community. Students studied community rules and structure in social studies then set out on field trips and welcomed guests to campus to learn more from local fire stations, police and medical professionals. 

Everything came together in the first grade spring musical, “Friendly Neighborhood Helpers.” The play was a creative and engaging presentation highlighting the many people from grocers to dentists to mail carriers who make a community a better place to live. This year the first graders welcomed three neighborhood heroes they know very well! MJS parents, who are also physicians, joined the children on stage for the song – I’m Gonna Be. You can watch the play on our MJS Facebook page.
