Happy Holidays from room 208! Students in English classes had a fun gift exchange with just a few rules:
-bring something you no longer want
-it must be wrapped
-you may not purchase a gift
TV wall mounts, a large tree, and even some delicious pop tarts were some of the gifts!
Wags of Wisdom from Crosby
As we wrap up another semester and step into a new year, we’re reminded that seasons come and go—some chapters close while new ones begin. Count your blessings and choose to enjoy each day, regardless of the bumps along the way.
This week’s Wags of Wisdom includes a special highlight of Kari Ray, who will be leaving MTHS to begin a new venture. We thank her for her years of service and wish her nothing but the best as she starts this next chapter.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄✨

Student Council is celebrating Holiday Dress-Up Days this week, and all students and staff are invited to participate. On Monday, students are welcome to wear cozy holiday pajamas. On Tuesday, we’ll be wearing ugly Christmas sweaters, and during lunch there will be karaoke and pictures with Santa. Then on Wednesday, students should wear their class color along with any kind of Christmas bling — things like festive hats, earrings, socks, or accessories. Class colors are red for seniors, green for juniors, white for sophomores, and blue for freshmen. We’re looking forward to a fun and festive week. Happy holidays, and thank you for your continued support!
🚨 SCHEDULE UPDATE: Tonight’s boys' basketball game (12/13) vs. Normal University has been cancelled due to weather. Stay safe, Redbird fans! 🏀
Students in Spanish 2 acted out their new unit story today. Lots of fun! Learning a language through storytelling is awesome!
Crosby’s Wags of Wisdom:
MTHS staff is digging into The Anxious Generation for our book study. It’s a great read for parents and students about the impact of technology and social media. As we head into the holiday season, take time to unplug, unwind, and enjoy real moments with family, friends, and of course… your pets!
