Bomber Nation,
MHPS will be in session tomorrow, Thursday, January 26, 2023. We will run snow routes.
There are a significant number of homes still without power. We understand that our schools are a warm place with food that could be a blessing to many. We also understand it might create anxiety for some due to having to get dressed and ready without the normal sanitary procedures. We always encourage families to make decisions based on what is best for their children, but we will be here tomorrow and ready.
Bathrooms, showers, and locker rooms will be made available for any student who requests their use.
Thank you for your understanding, and please be safe.
Jake

We love when our little kids partner with big kids! Kindergartners drew pictures showing what they want to be when they grow up and shared them with Mrs. Corales' 6th grade Honors Class. The Pinkston students wrote letters about those jobs and sent them back to the kindergarten. Kindergartners in Mrs. Pitchford's class were treated with the "BIG KIDS" reading to them about different job opportunities. Career-connected learning at its finest!
We celebrated Red Ribbon Week 2022 at Pinkston Middle School a couple weeks ago! Our finale included a presentation on the dangers of vaping by Registered Respiratory Therapist Shelby Chapman and our amazing SRO, Danielle Campfield along with K9 Officer Rocky, presented on the dangers and legalities of alcohol and drugs. Thank you, Officer Campfield, for all the “Cycle Breakers” you recruited at this event! What a powerful way to make a difference in the lives of our students. The students also watched an intense video on the dangers of fentanyl. Eye opening! We love our students! Celebrating Life Drug Free💙💛
