"Good Manners," Field Day, ArtsQuest & Career Day

Things have been very busy at MHS. First of all, I would like to congratulate the third grade for their WONDERFUL performance of the musical, Good Manners. Each and every child did a fantastic job and I am so proud of you! Field Day was last Friday and it was filled with fun, yummy snacks, and friendly competition. The Headliners had their last practice and performance this past week. I am so proud of the Headliners! Congratulations to each student that had their artwork chosen for ArtsQuest. Next up on the MHS agenda is Career Day. I can't wait! Summer Break is just around the corner...
