The Grinch visited and ruined Christmas at MJ1 Schools!
Thank you!!
The Student Council's hot cocoa sale to raise funds for the Wounded Warrior Project was a success! Thanks to all who bought cocoa, and especially to Save More Marketplace for the donation of the whipped cream. Student Council will have other fundraisers this winter for the same cause - thank you for your support!
The 2020 MJ1 School Spelling Bee
This year MJ1 will be participating in the 2020 Scripps Spelling Bee! Students in 4th-8th grades will first participate in a classroom Spelling Bee. During the Classroom Spelling Bee, students will be given grade-appropriate words, and the top spellers will be chosen. The top spellers from each grade will then participate in the MJ1 School Spelling Bee on January 27, 2020. Students that participate in the School Spelling Bee will be given study lists and have the opportunity to compete at the Regional Spelling Bee in February. Watch the Flash for further information about this year's Bee!
WANTED: Sports Pictures
If your student plays on a school sport team, and you're willing to share pictures that you take, please email them to yearbook@mhlt.org for this year's MJ1 Yearbook. The more pictures we have, the more we can highlight our awesome student athletes! Thanks so much.
