POSITIVE IMPACTS
Click on this link https://forms.gle/nL7bypeECyRKWBqv8 and share a snap-shot story of how the actions of others have impacted you that can be announced in 20-30 seconds. Stories should relate specifically to our core values of RESPECT, RESPONSIBILITY, KINDNESS, INTEGRITY & PERSEVERANCE. This month’s story prompt is, "How has someone's act of Kindness positively impacted you?"
Congratulations to Daniel Barnett, David Richman, Ashanti Richards and Eric Burgos for being our weekly winners of the MHS Core Value t-shirt ticket drawing!
Ashanti demonstrated Kindness when she helped an upset student by finding an adult. David demonstrated Kindness when he helped a student in his class. Eric demonstrated Perseverance when he pushed through some unique challenges to the point of earning honor roll. And, Daniel demonstrated Responsibility when he earned Honor Roll Quarter 1. And because this is David’s second recognition he received a Red Hawk t-shirt. And since Daniel did something in alignment with Responsibility, our highlighted Core Value for the month of January, he received a Red Hawk wrist band!
Keep showing what it means to “live” the MHS Core Values of Respect, Responsibility, Kindness, Integrity and Perseverance, earn a MHS Core value ticket and you may be the next to win a MHS Core Value t-shirt!
