Lion's Mane Parent Edition
Your home for MHS news & events. Vol 2, Issue 29; 4/24/2017
We need your help with the following items:
- Please make sure your kiddos are coming to school everyday. "Senioritis" is spreading all the way down to our freshmen.
- Please have your kiddos at school before "on time." Use the band/pool drop off if you drop off. There is rarely a line there.
- Reach out to your kid's teachers and encourage them to finish strong. An email or encouraging call will go a long way.
- Cherish each moment you have with your child. Time goes by way too fast. I miss my college freshmen so much at times it hurts. So.........just love them and support them in their pursuit of an awesome education.
