Love it when we get this kind of celebration of our Dragon students and coaches! 💙 "Wanted to share with you something pretty special from your softball team yesterday. One of your girls hit a foul ball and it hit a kiddo watching the game from the other team. The girl who hit it came over, checked on the kiddo, talked to her, and then gave her the game ball. It was so sweet and thoughtful. Also, your girls had the best sportsmanship all the way around. I was very impressed! Just think we should all share the good things we see in regards to our kids! Have a blessed day! "

There are superstitions for everything...not washing your socks when you're on a winning streak, not shaving on game days, listening to same music on game day, and now we have wearing the same sweatshirt so that we do well on ACT Aspire 💙 Dragons do it all!

With spring here, and summer not far behind, it’s helpful to know the signs and symptoms of heat exhaustion and heat stroke and what do do when you encounter these conditions. Heat exhaustion is when your body overheats. Taking it a step further, heat stroke occurs when the body can no longer control its temperature: the body's temperature rises rapidly, the sweating mechanism fails, and the body is unable to cool down. Being prepared and catching these symptoms early could save a life.

Monday, April 17, part of the class of 2023 participated in an activity called "Get Real." MHS Alum, Shawnee Sorensen Tichenor with the Sebastian County Extension Service, came to campus and spoke to the students about finances and what we all do every month - pay bills. She introduced budgeting, but then she took them through the scenario of "real life" - buying or renting, transportation, monthly bills, insurance, taxes. The remainder of the class of 2023 will go through the activity on Wednesday. Thank you Shawnee for returning to MHS to provide our seniors with the information and tools. It is about to "Get Real" for them!
