Our students are learning all about what they can do to keep their hearts healthy, take their own health challenge and learn how they can help others by collecting donations for the American Heart Association. We are a healthy and service-minded community.
There is also an app for this event! Search for American Heart Association or Kids Heart Challenge in the app store on your mobile device. Students may ask people they know, in person or over the phone, to support the American Heart Association in fighting heart disease and stroke.

Music Notes from Ms Pierce
On February 13th, MPTS will have a program, titled NUMBER DRUMMER, that will be presented to our whole school. This program is provided by the Arts & Science Council of Charlotte-Mecklenburg and they are providing the funds for this program. The students will listen to a group play drums and learn how it relates to math and some students will be able to participate by playing some of the drums. We are very fortunate to have this special group perform at our school!
In addition, over the weekend of February 16th, six of our 5th grade students have been selected to sing in the Charlotte Mecklenburg Honors Chorus. Mrs. Pierce has been working with NORA KAPUR, MARQUISE BATSULI, CAROLINE WEEKS, KYLA MILLER, ANNA RUZGA and SALLIE HADLEY every afternoon over the past month and they will practice with many other students on Saturday, February 16th and perform their six songs on Sunday, February 17th. We thank them for volunteering and practicing so much so that they can represent MPTS at this event!
