Our school proudly hosted a Bookmark Making Contest where students created original bookmarks inspired by topics they are currently learning about—or will be learning about—this year in their grade-level social studies classes. Using Canva, students selected a social studies topic and designed a creative, and/or educational bookmark. Entries were voted on anonymously, and one winner was selected from each grade level. The winning designs will be printed and given away with every new library book checkout, helping promote reading and celebrate student creativity across our school. 📚✨

A celebratory graphic featuring three bookmarks displayed vertically against a black and white background with orange and black triangular banners at the top. The center has an orange rectangle with the word “CONGRATULATIONS!” in white text and a small snake illustration above it. The left bookmark shows a colorful design with a statue and labeled continents (Africa, Asia, Europe) and is credited to “Shelldon M.” The middle bookmark features a photo of pyramids with text overlay and is credited to “Jonathan B.” The right bookmark depicts an illustrated wooden tower labeled “Droop Mountain Battlefield state park tower” and is credited to “Eva T.” Decorative elements like squiggles, confetti, and books appear around the image.
If you have any issues with teams, you can also reach out to teachers on class dojo. Hope everyone is safe and warm - we miss you all, at MMS!
