Brockett Bulletin

Newby Leadership students can choose their service project(s) and this group of Troopers are the school recyclers.

The students say they chose the recycling job because it is “fun,” even though they give up morning recess to complete it. Good job, Troopers!

Earlier this week I shared that MSD will end the mask mandate in schools on March 12. The change is based on CDC and OHA guidance that uses the CDC's new Community Level tool. A link to the tool can be found on the district website under the COVID button.

On Wednesday, the Oregon Department of Education released new guidance, which we are working through with staff. Stay tuned for a detailed update next week.

In the wrestling state championship, senior Chris Dillworth was a silver medalist, and the girls basketball team made the first round in the state playoffs.

Great job, Grizzlies!

Check out senior Winfield Hall's creation from his Fabrication class, which popped up in the MHS Athletic and Activities Hall!
