MPHS Talent Show!
Due to a snow day last week, the MPHS talent show was rescheduled and held this week, Wednesday, February 6, at 6:00PM in the HS commons. The audience got to see eight different singing and dancing acts from our high school students. High school teachers, Mr. Doug West, Ms. Yolanda Farmer, and Mr. Neal Kalso were our three honorary judges. After a great night of performances, William (Alex) Barrera was awarded the 3rd place $15 prize. In second place, Robert Orellano won the $25 prize. Finally, our 1st place winners were MIND (a K-pop dance group) who won the $50 grand prize. Be sure to congratulate these students if you see them!
