Hello Mustang Nation,

This is a final reminder that Senior Pictures and Quotes for the Yearbook are due by this Friday, December 20! Please see the flyer below in this newsletter for more information.

Spirit Week: Monday, December 16 - Friday, December 20. The MHS Student Council will be sponsoring a themed Spirit Week for the final days before our extended holiday break. Signage and posters will be going up around the building soon, in addition to announcements and notification through our newsletters. Also, on Wednesday, December 18 during Mustang Time the Student Council will be coming around to classrooms with their Candy Cane Cart to spread some cheer. (The Spirit Week and Candy Cane Cart are the only planned activities for the final week before break)

As a reminder, our upcoming week will follow the Green/White color rotation schedule below:

Monday 12/16 - GREEN

Tuesday 12/17 - WHITE

Wednesday 12/18 - GREEN

Thursday 12/19 - WHITE

As we work hard to wrap up the final week of school in 2024 I am hopeful that we can all look back on our time at MHS this year and be proud of our efforts thus far. Happy Holidays to everyone in our school community - I hope the time off from school is restful and relaxing for all.

Take care,

-Mr. Thurlow
