This month’s Royal Spirit Award recipient is Dawn Cary. Dawn is the PA former PA President and proud mother of senior Arthur Cary. She helped the MCP Parents Association make a smooth transition back to 'regular' meetings post Covid with ease. She’s always donating her time, supplies, and helping with staff appreciation lunches and school-wide events. Dawn is a natural leader with warm enthusiasm and a huge heart. MCP is grateful for all that Dawn has contributed to our community. Congratulations to Dawn Cary.

A huge congratulations goes out to our Men's and Women's Basketball teams who competed in various tournaments over the Christmas break.

Boys Basketball -
The MCP Christmas Classic was an amazing event and we not only congratulate our team, but all of the parent volunteers for making it a great success!!! The boys went 2-2 and finished in 4th place out of 16 teams.

Girls Basketball -
The Lady Royals performed very well at the Mission Oak Tournament the week after Christmas making it all the way to the finals. They came up short against a very good Nipomo team (11-1).

Way to go Royals!
