This is National Oreo Cookie Day! The Oreo cookie has become the best-selling cookie in the United States.  How ever you like yours, enjoy some oreos today!

Juniors, nominations are open for next year’s Interpersonal Skills class!  IPS is a year-long class with the main goal of all students understanding the importance of inclusion and acceptance of all, and how to take those messages with them as they navigate through life. Our class motto is, “I am different, not less.” Students nominated will be given an application and will have an interview with teachers and current seniors in IPS. To nominate yourself to be considered for IPS, please email Jamie Schnee by Thursday, March 12th.

This morning, MHS students competed in the 8^th annual Job Olympics event at the K-State Rec Center. Each student competed in up to 4 vocational events (with 31 different events to choose from).
