Congratulations to Hayden Snyder for being this week's reading challenge winner at MHHS! Enjoy your gift card and keep reading!
High school foreign language students attended the AFTLA Student Conference this weekend at UCA! Great job, kids!
We are heartbroken to learn about the tragic passing of several members of a local family — one who was a precious elementary school student at MHPS. We do not have any details related to the matter, but we are holding this family close to our hearts as they navigate the unthinkable.
We have visited with all the families of this child’s classmates and will have lots of counseling support on campus tomorrow. There is no good way to navigate such a sad situation, but our counseling staff and our faculty are all committed to helping our kids.
The District Wellness/School Level Improvement Plan group was honored to have a food presentation by MH Food Service Department. The amazing food display featured the MHHSCA, MHJH and HIS kitchens. Thank you Tom, Roberto and all the food service staff!
Mrs. Perryman's kids celebrated their middle of the year growth with popscicles this week!
