Something good that happened to me…

On the first day of school, we set up a mic with a simple sign: “Tell us something good that happened today.”

This is what they said.

Mirabal Sisters Campus (MSC) Hawks sports season starts with W's!

What an exciting kickoff to the fall athletics season for our Mirabal Sisters Campus Hawks! Our student-athletes took to the fields with determination, teamwork, and high energy, setting a strong tone for the weeks ahead.

Soccer Highlights — Both our Varsity and Junior Varsity Soccer teams delivered impressive performances in their season openers, each securing big wins for MSC! From masterful passing to decisive goals and solid defense, both squads showed off the hard work they put in during pre-season practice.

Flag Football Highlights — Over on the gridiron, the Varsity Flag Football team kept the momentum going with a fantastic win to start their season strong. The team executed great plays on both offense and defense to bring home the victory.

While the Junior Varsity Flag Football team suffered a tough loss in their opening game, our athletes showed tremendous heart and sportsmanship straight through to the final whistle. The team is already back at practice, making adjustments, and looking forward to bouncing back stronger in their next matchup!

Congratulations to all of our student-athletes and coaches for representing MSC with pride. Be sure to come out and support our teams at their upcoming games!

Go Hawks!
