And you are the one who’ll decide where to go.” Door Decorating continues this week. Judging will be Friday. All students who are planning to participate in the Poetry Slam Event this Thursday have a brief meeting after school today in Ms. Leonard’s Room 517. Please bring the piece you plan to perform.

“Kick Butts Day” is a day of activism that empowers youth to stand out, speak up and seize control against Tobacco. On Wednesday, MHS will have a Graffiti Wall in the cafeteria where students can add their own graffiti about why they choose to be nicotine free. “Kick Butts Day” is important because every day more than three thousand kids under eighteen try smoking for the first time and seven hundred kids become new regular, daily smokers.
