Dear MHS,
I hope you are well and had a wonderful weekend. A few events are happening this week at MHS. On Wednesday, we have our annual Sustainable Fashion show and clothing swap. I'm super excited to learn how fashion and the clothes we purchase impact the world's climate. It is an excellent opportunity for any student to participate in the swap.
Today at our Faculty Meeting, we will discuss the results of the December SEL Student survey and how we, as a community and staff, can work towards 100% of our students feeling a sense of belonging at MHS. Shout out to our RP team for leading the faculty in a data presentation and exercise on relationship mapping.
It's the last week of a few basketball games before the playoffs, MHS Gymnastics has its State Meet this weekend, and the Governor's Institute is promoting its programs on Friday.
Please be sure to check out all of the information below!
Have a fantastic new week, be safe, be well, and looking forward to connecting with you at MHS.
Sincerely,
Jason
