Thank You For Making The
Annual Golf Ball Drop for Scholarships 
a Memorable Day for Students



This year's Golf Ball Drop was as exciting as ever! Students cheered as 3,000 golf balls rained down on the athletic field. Administrators for the Day had the important job of helping to determine which balls fell closest to the holes for the prizes. 

And best of all, every golf ball purchase helped raise funds for MCS's Tuition Scholarship Program. Special thanks to MCS Dad/Pilot Mike Manclark for helping make this event possible! Enjoy the Daily Pilot article featuring our Golf Ball Drop.
