We've made it official! MTHS is now a Special Olympics Unified Champion School! As a Special Olympics Unified Champion School, we promise to create a climate of inclusion, acceptance, respect and human dignity for all students! Our Unified Redbirds are ready to take on the challenge of promoting social inclusion through inclusive sporting events and leadership opportunities. Thank you to our administration, teachers, peer leaders, and the surrounding community for your support.
Key Club members were making spirits bright tonight at Snyder Village in Metamora. Residents loved watching our students decorate the halls and trees🎄❄️. It's beginning to look a lot like Christmas!
Operation Snowball at MTHS is back for another year! Students can expect lots of games, competitions, and teamwork as they work together in tribes to outwit, outsmart, and outlast this year's Survivor theme. Students can sign up by visiting https://forms.gle/ivwSAcyBfi3icsJf6
The Old Gym has been transformed into Castle Woodford! Don't miss your chance to see the 48th annual Madrigal Dinner this weekend! Here's a behind the scenes look at what it takes to get there.
Moving on to our next Unified Redbirds spotlight...meet Hayden Gardner! Hayden is a sophomore at Metamora. She has been helping in the Skill Builders classroom for two years. She works one-on-one with students in Mrs. Weldon's first hour class. Hayden says that dropping a study hall and becoming a peer helper here at Metamora has been one of the best decisions she has ever made! She also says that if you decide you want to work alongside the students and teachers in the Skill Builders program, she knows you will LOVE it! #weareunited
Thank you to the National Guard for coming in and helping the Food Science 1 classes elevate some MREs!
Our first Unified spotlight of the holiday season is Bayleigh Matthews. Meet our UR president, Bayleigh. Bayleigh is a senior and is involved in Unified P.E., she is a peer helping in Mrs. Hanrahan's fifth hour class, and she is involved in many UR activities outside of school. Outside of Unified, Bayleigh has been on the volleyball team for all four years of her time at MTHS. Bayleigh's Unified partner is Eddie. One of her favorite memories from her time in UR is when Eddie brought her flowers to one of her volleyball games. Eddie and Bayleigh are each other's cheerleaders forever! Bayleigh is so thankful that she joined Unified Redbirds and hopes to inspire others to join, too!
