MHS ANNOUNCEMENTS 10/28/26

NEW ANNOUNCEMENTS: 

Good morning! One important fact about prevention is that students who have positive friendships, supportive adults, and healthy activities are less likely to misuse alcohol and other drugs. The people you spend time with can influence your decisions, which is why it's important to surround yourself with individuals who encourage you to make good choices. Red Ribbon Week's theme, "Make A Difference. Be A Hero. Stay Drug Free," reminds us that leadership often happens in small moments. By encouraging a friend, participating in positive activities, or choosing not to use substances, you can have a powerful impact on those around you.

Attention all seniors: Please remember to submit your Senior Release paperwork to your guidance counselor as soon as possible. Before turning in your form, double-check to make sure it is completely filled out. Once submitted, your guidance counselor and administrator will review and sign it. After it is fully processed, your Senior Release will appear on your second-quarter schedule in Infinite Campus. Please remember: until you see Senior Release on your schedule in Infinite Campus, your request is not finalized. You must continue following your current schedule until that time. The deadline to turn in all requests is this Friday, October 30th. Don't wait—get those forms in today!

Reminder- Nepali Club is now meeting in room 4-108 in McDowell North building during Friday tutorials. We hope to see you all there this Friday 10/30! If you have any questions or concerns, reach out to Ms. Price (bprice@mtsd.org)

This year’s Red Ribbon Week theme is “Make a Difference. Be a Hero. Stay Drug Free.” Staying drug free means making good decisions.
