MCS is excited to announce that we have been selected to participate in the NC AI Ecosystems Project, a statewide cohort powered by Playlab and supported by the Levine Family Foundation!

This initiative is centered on fostering true AI agency—empowering our school community to create custom AI tools that directly align with our district's goals and priorities.
Here’s a look at our progress so far:

District Leadership in Action: Our team recently attended Convening #1, gaining hands-on experience designing and building custom AI apps to tackle real-world challenges in our district.

Student Creators Lead the Way: A select group of middle and high school students is already getting in on the action! Following specialized training, these students stepped into the builder's seat and created their very own custom apps.
Our goal goes far beyond AI literacy. We are building AI agency: equipping educators and students to build with AI, not just use it.

Stay tuned as we continue this work to bring sustainable, creative, and responsible AI innovation to our classrooms!

🌟📚 Happy (Belated!) Instructional Coach Day to the AMAZING Mrs. Christy Stevens! 📚🌟
We may be a day late, but we couldn’t let Instructional Coach Day pass without celebrating someone who gives 110% to TWO schools every single day!
Mrs. Stevens serves both Rodgers Elementary and Jamesville Elementary, and her impact is everywhere! She is incredibly knowledgeable about curriculum and instruction, her teachers’ #1 supporter, our Odyssey of the Mind coach, and the creative mind behind the beautiful adult-learning spaces at both schools. She also brings FUN to learning with i-Ready competitions that get students AND teachers excited! 🎉📚
Whatever is needed, she is there, and she gives it her all! ❤️
Thank you, Mrs. Stevens, for ALL you do for our students, teachers, and schools! Rodgers and Jamesville are so lucky to have you on BOTH teams! 🌟👏📚
