Warrior News
A Weekly Newsletter for Warrior Families and Students
February 21, 2020
Hey Warrior Nation,
It was another action packed and exciting week here at MHS! Our Robotics team hosted it’s first ever Robot Reveal event to honor their sponsors that support the program. We also hosted our first ever 1Warrior event for our musical production’s tech rehearsal and had nearly 200 student-athletes enamored with the talents and hard work of the cast and crew of Beauty & the Beast. If you haven’t got your tickets yet for this show, do so ASAP as it is filling up fast. In addition to these great events, we had countless Warriors serving our school and community in various service projects, exemplifying what it means to be a Warrior. Be sure to check out our “Celebrations” below as we had countless other clubs and winter sports teams in action across the state.
As always, check out our events calendar and make some time to come to an event to cheer on our Warriors! Your attendance and support means a lot to our students and we all appreciate the partnership.
Have an awesome day and GO WARRIORS!
