Principal Message

Hello MHS

We were fortunate to welcome NBA All-Star Entertainer Q-MACK to MHS yesterday. This high impact presentation outlined 7 vital character attributes that will benefit our students with the challenges they face as they navigate the challenges of growing up.

A-Attitude (being positive/optimistic)

L-Leadership (by example)

L-Love (for learning new skills)

S-Self control (making positive choices)

T-Teamwork (being inclusive)

A-Accountability (being responsible for words and actions)

R-Respect (for others feelings and standing up against bullying)

Q-MACK’S exciting combination of freestyle basketball tricks, balancing, juggling, and magic acts captured students’ undivided attention while continually shining the spotlight on 7 important character attributes that All-Star students need to succeed! 

Thank you to School Council / Parent Society for supporting this enrichment opportunity. It was highly entertaining and brought fantastic key content for students to ponder and process.

Have a wonderful weekend.

Mr. Martin,

Principal
