Warrior Weekly News

This past week has been full of many amazing experiences for our students at MHS. Last Saturday our girls cross country team won a VERY close sectional race at Lake Denoon MS to qualify for state and the boy's cross country team saw Parker Fons qualify as an individual. Congrats to all qualified athletes - your hard work and focus paid off! Another exciting moment was at the SySTEMnow Awards show where our female robotics competitors were awarded with a STEMMY award for hosting a huge TWIST (Together, women in STEM thrive) event. Amazing what these kids are doing - so impressive.

Seeing the success our students have every day in activities (like above), in learning complex math, or speaking in front of an entire class reminds me how important it is for us to encourage our students to take advantage of the opportunities and to take healthy risks. These opportunities lead to amazing accomplishments and growth. The growth happens even when the end outcome isn't something "big". Encourage your student to take advantage of the opportunity. Remind them that the work and the risk is worth it.

Have an amazing weekend!

Go, Warriors!
