MHS students embarked upon a bit of SEL with "Crafts & Conversations." The discussion topics were self-esteem and self-awareness, and the students made bracelets and key chains as a way of self-regulation and self-relaxation.
Mrs. Jamison's Spanish II classes had a blast on their mental vacation to South America. The students "toured" the continent learning about many different countries along the way and documented their discoveries.
MHS students recently had the opportunity visit Arkansas State University. Big thanks to MHS career coaches Whitley Green, Tyler Poole, and Montel Smith for another excellent activity and for all of their efforts to help our students gain the exposure they need to help with their post secondary decisions.
Kudos to Mrs. Jamie White's FACS classes for demonstrating their newfound knowledge of stitching that they learned last week to hand-stitch a design onto small pillows they constructed.
Pear Harbor Remembrance Day is celebrated annually in the U.S. in honor of the 2,000+ Americans who were killed in a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. This led to the U.S. entering WWII.

The MSD counselors went to the YMCA Memphis and participated in the Coats for Kids event. Each MSD campus got winter coats and hats for our students in need. We enjoyed our time there picking out what we thought our students would like. Each campus got 10 coats each.
Happy Thanksgiving from MHS!

The MHS National Honor Society is revamping its School Clothing Closet! This is a free resource for students in need. We are trying to get rid of negative stigmas and make students more comfortable with this resource. It will function more like a free thrift shop, and we could use any donations. Priorities are unused toiletries like toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, hair brushes, hair ties, etc. With the winter months approaching, lightly used coats are also appreciated. The drive will be indefinite as we will always need items.
We all scream for ice cream, but can you do it in Spanish? Well, MHS students can! Today, Ms. Jamison's Spanish I class went to the ice cream shop to put their knowledge to the test by ordering their desserts in Spanish.
It's progress report time! Parents and students, make sure you stay abreast of grade statuses. You plus us=Students' Success!
