The nature trails behind the schools will be filled with creative sculptures created by the 7th & 8th grade Art students starting today. Students will be creating "fairy" and "troll" houses to create an "enchanted forest" along our trails. Want to see your student's art work? Take a stroll with them on a nice Fall evening tonight to see what they've been creating in Art.

The 23/24 MJHS Mentor Program has had a successful launch. Our mentors started their work in August by welcoming all of our 5th graders and new students to MJHS at orientation, and they continue to help our 5th graders adapt to Jr. High by meeting with them periodically. With over 70 Mentors from the 7th and 8th Grades, they make a difference for our young students through their commitment to our school and helping others. Thank you to our MJHS Mentors! The Mentor Program is one more way that MJHS offers a Culture that Empowers.
