From EAST Facilitator Audrey Plumlee at Hackler Intermediate School:
"My 5th grade EAST Program invited several veterans to come in today and answer questions from how life was in the service to how we could improve our Veteran's Day Program. We had Thomas Stickles Jr., Dan Hall, Delaney Thomas and Krysi Shimmel (who joined us Via Zoom from Maine).
Mr. Dan Hall showed us a LIFE magazine from July 2, 1965. On the front cover of the magazine there are several Marines carrying a wounded soldier. He is the soldier right under the letter E in Life, he has a mustache and is not wearing a hat. He talked to the students about how the picture was taken.
Mr. Thomas Stickles brought a MRE for the students to see what they ate. At the very end, Mr. Stickles and Mr. Thomas demonstrated how the MRE heats up. They allowed the students to take turns coming to the table to inspect and smell what the Chili Mac MRE looked like.
We are so grateful for all four of these men and women. They had so much to offer our students. It was a great honor for us all to be in the same room with them."
Congratulations to sophomore Owen Morris for being named Mrs. Lawrence's featured artist of the month!

Homecoming 2024 Info!
This week Mrs. Dewey and Mrs. Rauls highlight the MHHS White Coat Internship Program. https://youtu.be/39hmML6J-Oc
Bus 46 is running about 20 minutes late.
This morning we received notification of another social media threat of violence. This post listed "MHS" as the school in question. While this post did not appear to be targeted toward our district, we did pass this information along to authorities the moment we received it. Law enforcement has confirmed the post did not originate here, and it appears to be referring to a completely different school/district.
Please talk to your children about the importance of not spreading these threats but immediately reporting them to an adult. Re-sharing these posts rather than reporting them is never the answer. We know these possible threats are concerning and scary, and it is important for the proper authorities to be notified immediately.
Thanks to the HHS Academy at MHHS for helping to share information about The Call!
MHPS Parents/Guardians,
Today our administration was notified that some students were sharing a social media post that included a threat of violence toward an organization or school called “MHS.” This post circulated through a number of local students and was eventually reported to our administration. While this post did not refer to Mountain Home or our schools, we still reported it to the authorities immediately.
Our police department began tracing the post, and in the meantime similar “MHS” threats started cropping up around the country. In fact, a 13-year-old girl was arrested in California for making a “MHS” threat in her district today.
Later in the day we received reports that students told their parents that our buildings were on lockdown. I want to clarify that at no point during the day were we on lockdown. Generally speaking – unless it would cause additional risk in the moment – we will notify you promptly if we are placed in a status of lockdown, shelter, hold, evacuation, etc. for any reason.
This afternoon we received another report of a Snapchat warning classmates. It was not a threat and did not identify MHPS, but we reported it, and our local authorities are looking into it as well.
Please continue to report threats or questionable posts. Make sure the appropriate people – authorities and school administration – have this information so action can be taken quickly.
Thank you,
Allyson Dewey
