Wags of Wisdom: Happy Thanksgiving! May your weekend be filled with family, friends, relaxation, and gratitude.

Student Council is excited to sponsor the 3rd Annual Holiday Gift Drive. We will be collecting gifts and winter clothing for Spring Bay American Legion and Woodford County Heart House. We will be collecting items Monday, December 8 through Friday, December 12. The graduating class that brings in the most items will get a special Homeroom extravaganza, a chance to win raffle prizes, as well as the opportunity to give all the donations to the donation centers. We appreciate your generous donations this holiday season as we help those in need in our community. Please see the flyer for more details.

Congratulations to Mia Stivers and Ava Puntoni! 🎓🏐

Leaders are Readers! 📚 Huge thanks to the incredible MTHS Football Team and Cheerleaders for helping Metamora Grade School's National Family Literacy (NFL) Night!
It was inspiring to see our high school role models encouraging our younger students to pick up a book. Reading is the foundation of leadership, and these student-athletes are proving that both on and off the field.
Thank you to everyone who made it a great night of literacy and community! Go Redbirds! ❤️

The bands were treated to an awesome in-class concert by the Western Illinois University Jazz Studio Orchestra! They played a few tunes and then welcomed MTHS students to join them! It was a swingin' good time!


Wags of Wisdom with Crosby:
This week, Crosby is giving thanks for the amazing board members, administrators, and office staff who serve our school every day—especially when they dish up our Thanksgiving meal! Gratitude doesn’t have to be fancy. It’s just noticing the people who show up, help out, and make our school feel like home. They remind us that the best things in life are often served with kindness. Gratitude grows when we recognize the people who give their time and heart to our school community. Take a moment today to notice someone you appreciate…and maybe tell them, too.
