I love that the teachers smile a lot! I’ve had many great classes at MOS. One of my favorites was a social studies class on transportation. We started the year learning about ancient people traveling to North America by foot over the Beringian Land Bridge. We ended the year by making models of our ideas for a sustainable future of transportation.
