These Panthers did an OUTSTANDING job at the 2023 Rotary Speech Contest and brought home 1st, 2nd, & 3rd place wins.
MTHS students on the Superintendent's Advisory Council hosted an 8th-Grade Transition Event to meet the upcoming freshman class, share their experiences, and answer questions.
MTES Panthers LOVE to read, so it's only fitting that they would celebrate "National Read Across America Day" (also the birthday of Dr. Seuss) in a BIG way!
Nutrition
School Nurses see many students for complaints related to hunger. Skipping breakfast can lead to stomach aches, headaches, and dizziness. Students should be encouraged to eat breakfast every day. Eating breakfast provides students with the energy and focus needed to learn and complete work while at school.
One way that you can help your child develop good eating habits is by modeling the behavior at home. The following examples are given by the CDC for how you can model healthy eating at home:
- Review school menus with your kids and encourage them to try new food items. Use this as a chance to talk to your children about what’s being offered, and the nutrients in different foods.
- Get your kids involved in meal planning at home and let them pick a new vegetable or fruit to try. This is a great way to have older children research different options for using a fruit or vegetable in a meal.
- Got a green thumb? Plant a garden at home, or volunteer to help with a community or school garden.
Another effective way to model behavior at home is by eating together as a family. This is also a good time to connect with students about their day.
If you have any health-related questions or concerns, contact your school clinic to speak with any of our nurses.
