Student Activities-There Are So Many Ways To Get Involved In The MHS Community!
Cafeteria Committee

Join The Club
Some students from The Crochet Club display the shawls they have created. Later this month, the students will donate the shawls to an organization that distributes them to people in the hospital or who are suffering personal loss. "They're meant to feel like a hug for people who might really be in need of one" explains Mrs. Duga. Once the girls finish their shawl project they'll be learning to make Crochet nests to donate to the Carolina Waterfowl Rescue.
