National Counselors Week
Wanna wear jeans for a week?
How would you like to wear jeans with ANY SHIRT in your closet for an ENTIRE WEEK (must be within MHS dress code guidelines :) )?!?! You know those cute shirts (Mark Bayer??) you never get to wear because they don’t say MHS or have a lion on them? Well, have we got a deal for you! For just $15, you, too, can wear (almost) any shirt you want with your favorite comfy blue jeans the ENTIRE WEEK OF FEBRUARY 8th!!! All proceeds will benefit our First in Family program!!!
To cash in on this great deal, please bring $15 (cash or check) to me (Sara Arnold) in room F203 any time next week. I will need to write you a receipt when you turn your money in, as well as get your name on our list of First in Family supporters. So be sure you see me (or Kim Montgomery if I am out) to be a part of this exciting event!

Student Achievements
Last year Bonnie Banks received an MEF grant of $1,160 for a joint student based business venture. The money allowed her class to purchase supplies which enabled the students to create one of a kind stationary, jewelry, scarves, key chains and post it notes. These items will then be sold to MHS staff and student body during lunch. FAC students brainstormed the business name and logo as well as where and when to sell their hand made gifts. The students worked collectively designing, creating , packaging, and price marking their wares. On Monday, February 1st students plan to offer these items for sale at all 5 lunch periods or until their supply is exhausted. Please support our FAC-STC students and wish them great success in this new venture.
