The fall sports' teams are busy preparing for the official start of the season. They have been waking up early and practicing late into the evenings to avoid the heat of August. It is wonderful to see their dedication. We look forward to cheering the cross country, field hockey, and soccer teams on this fall. Click here to view the athletic calendar.
The Library Has New TablesIn this photo, Sue Monmaney shows off the new modern work-stations in the library. These high table platforms will work well for students using laptops and tablets. The tables were ordered and customized by Sue and her family to perfectly fit the MHS library. Sue is the library media specialist and the educational technology specialist. This thoughtful addition to the library is reflective of the high traffic within the library as well as the need for tech-sensitive room design.
The Clean Team has been working very hard this summer. Here is a picture that indicates all the work that happens over the summer to keep the building maintained and ready to go for the first day of school. A big thanks to Tom, Rob, Jon, Bob, and Bill for all of their excellent work throughout the heat of the summer. We truly appreciate the work you do to create a clean and safe place of optimal learning!
