Technology Update at Middle and High Campus
We’re excited to announce that we now have wireless access in some locations at the Upper Campus!
We’re still experimenting with how best to utilize this new tool and how to easily and reliably allow students to use their own devices to do school work while on campus. We also have a new laptop cart with 20 machines that can be used if a student doesn’t have their own device they want to bring to use.
We encourage families to talk with their children if they bring any electronic devices to school about how to keep them safe and secure. We do have lockers available to all students who would like one.
Questions? Please contact Dr. Nicole Tervalon, IT Director, at nicole.tervalon_AT_mountmadonna.org or 408-847-2717 x293.
MMS Students Watch Last Flight of Space Shuttle Endeavour
The shuttle Endeavour, on its way to its new home at a Los Angeles science museum, flew over the Monterey Bay atop a 747 jumbo jet in the morning on Friday, September 21. MMS students came out of their classrooms to catch a glimpse of the shuttle, which was carried at very low-altitude. In fact, students on campus on the mountain actually looked down on the shuttle as it passed along the fog layer over the bay.

Teacher’s ‘Wishes’ Published in Local Magazine
Wishes for My Students, a poem by MMS Preschool-Kindergarten Director Sarojani Rohan, was published in the August 2012 edition of Growing Up in Santa Cruz. Sarojani wishes to share her poem with our MMS community.
joy in the journey
peace in the innermost place of their being
health to do and enjoy all that calls to them
fun
compassion for themselves and all beings
clarity to see what is false and what is True
honesty as a code to live by
integrity to do what they know is right
some quiet every day so they can hear their own song
wisdom to honor their gifts and talents
gratitude for all they’ve been blessed with
guidance to follow what has heart and meaning for them
cheerfulness to do whatever they need to do even when they don’t want to do it
friendships that are deep and true
love that surrounds and enfolds them wherever they are
inspiration that lights their path
a sense of purpose and fulfillment to their days
a steadfast heart,
enough magic and wonder
to satisfy their stargazer’s hunger for Mystery,
a willingness to be dazzled by everyday miracles,
and love for It All.
