Congratulations to Aaron Garlitz, Dejavon Morrett, Anna Rzeznikiewicz and Aaron Charter for being our weekly winners of the MHS Core Value t-shirt ticket drawing!
Aaron Charter demonstrated Responsibility when he stopped working on his project to help a teacher find something for his students.
Anna demonstrated Kindness when she held the door open for Mrs. Torres, Dejavon demonstrated Kindness when he helped his friend on crutches carry his things to class and Aaron Garlitz demonstrated Kindness when he helped a student with special needs in their bake shop class.
