Today we honor our security team.  National SRO day was last weekend and we haven’t had a chance to say thank you to these guys, so today is their day.  We would like to recognize our SROs, Officer Sonia Gregoire and Officer Brian Swearingin for all they do to keep MHS safe!  We would also like to recognize our Student Monitors; Ivan Sotelo, John Dove, Ron Seager, Jason Jorden, and Michael Jorden.  These guys help out students and keep our building going!  Thank you guys so much for everything that you do from cleaning up messes to jump starting cars!  We appreciate you!

Due to the snow day on Feb. 19^th the meeting has been changed.  For boys interested in trying out for the MHS golf team, there will be an informational meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 26 at 3:00 in room C-208.  The meeting will only take about 20 minutes and will answer any questions about the tryout process.  If you cannot attend but are interested, contact Coach Benji George or Coach Brad Ficke.

For anyone interested in Girls Swim/Dive, please stop by Coach Brown's room, E-207, to pick up information/documents about the season and to sign up to join the team this Spring.  You must complete the digital sign up form/complete necessary paperwork in order to join the team.  The Information/documents will also be available in the INFO folder on the Swim/Dive bulletin board outside Coach Brown's room.

Any boys interested in trying out for Boy's Tennis this spring are encouraged to attend an informational meeting on Wednesday, Feb. 26^th from 3:15-3:45pm in the Little Theater.

Social media promotions and marketing is a popular growing career field. Come to Wednesday’s Career Chat in the library during FlexTime to hear about a social media career from K-State’s Digital Media Specialist, Emily McMillan. Emily oversees social media around enrollment after handling social media for K-State Athletics and at the University of Evansville before that. Her Career Chat presentation will cover what social media managers do and how to get into a social media management role. To attend, pre-register by end of school Tuesday with Mrs. Ricketts in C-114 or Mrs. Nyp in C-107 to get a SMARTPASS.
