Screenager
A presentation for parents and children concerned about mental health in the digital age.
Millions of young people experience high levels of stress, anxiety, and depression. In this context, we follow physician and filmmaker Delaney Ruston as she explores innovative solutions for enhancing adolescent well-being in the digital age.
During our time together, we will view the film, which serves as a resource to uncover essential skills for building stress resiliency within schools and our community. This film is primarily intended for children aged 10 and older but may also be suitable for younger audiences with parental guidance.
When: April 24 5:30-7:30 pm
Where: MVHS PAC
Who: Parents and children concerned about mental health in the digital age
From Student Council
Community Service
MT wants to recognize students who make a commitment to serving the community. If your student has logged 50 or more service hours this school year, they are eligible for the President's Volunteer Service Award. Please submit logs to Miss Cassell by Monday, April 21. (Student council students going for this award only need to bring their updated service log to their grade-level sponsor by that date.)
Good Things at MTMS
6th South science students learned how light interacts with physical objects by reflecting, transmitting, absorbing, or refracting. We used old school 3D red and blue glasses to experience 3D images/videos.
Students learned how the human eye can perceive light, and how we see color. Students observed color through Red Green Blue LED lights and how they interact. RGB light mixed together makes the light mixing appear white.
Next week, students will explain why the sky is blue and why a sunset is red. Students are learning how the electromagnetic spectrum is all the same thing but light at different wavelengths.
