SPONSOR A TEACHER'S LUNCH
We have some exciting things planned throughout the week. This year, we would like to have students or families sponsor a teacher's lunch. The teacher will receive a personalized lunch with a note from their sponsor.
This is a great idea if a few classmates want to chip in to treat one of their teachers. We have 80 teachers in the building, and we would love to sponsor all of them! With 1100 students, we think that MPHS families/students will be up for the challenge.
PROM INFORMATION
Tickets are $35. Begin selling Monday, April 29-Monday May 6th. Ticket price includes Prom (including salad bar, three entree buffet dinner - with a meat, vegetarian and gluten free option, deserts and soft drinks), Riverwood, and senior t-shirt. Students cannot buy tickets until they have their Prom Behavior forms signed and turned in. If they plan on having a guest coming, they must also their guest pass turned in (go to the main office). If there are any dietary restrictions (not including gluten free or vegetarian restrictions) be sure that is filled out on the Prom Form. Also the final deadline to purchase tickets cannot be extended due to Comfort Inn requiring final count by May 6th.
Contact Mrs. Trawick or Mr. Dennis for additional information.
Senior Videos
Dear Parents/Guardians,
It's that time of year and the Yearbook staff is giving you the opportunity to create a parent video for your senior student. If you are new to parent videos, they are short video messages that you create and send to us to format and compile into a video that all students get to watch on the seniors last day of school (May 24).
If you would like to participate, we ask your video to be:
- 30 seconds or less
- MP4 format
- Use landscape mode (turn your phone horizontal) it will ensure a better quality video
- send your video to oileryearbook@mp.edzone.net by May 13th
- we will send you a reply email as receipt of the video.
If you have any questions don't hesitate to contact us at 989-775-2200 ext. 20206 or email oileryearbook@mp.edzone.net
