Lion's Mane Parent Edition
Your home for MHS news & events. Vol 2, Issue 24; 3/20/2017
Summer is quickly approaching. I know many of you will be wanting your child to get a part-time job or be involved with something this summer. MISD has heard the need from you and students and will be having their 1st annual Career Expo in April in response. Many companies and organizations from around McKinney will be attendance offering everything from summer jobs and internships to volunteer opportunities and summer activities. I hope our students take this opportunity to find something to do in the upcoming summer months. Details for the event are below.
Also parents, if you or someone you knows owns their own business and hires teens please see the attached flyer. Click here for a link to sign up to host a table.
