MHJH Student Council raises money each fall by selling paper feathers that students may purchase for their favorite teachers. This fundraiser benefits the Mountain Home Food Basket. This year the students raised more $1000 to benefit local families in need.
The First Security Bank 2022-23 Leadership Award Winner of the Month goes to MHJH student, Mason Cox. He was chosen by the Jr High Teachers and staff as the student who has best displayed outstanding leadership qualities during the month of November. Some of the qualities he demonstrates are: takes initiative, relatable, and always looking for other ways to help his teachers. Congratulations to you, Mason, we are so proud of you!
From Mrs. Mize: "In my Survey of Business class, my students were to write professional business letters to a company/brand/celebrity, etc. of their choice. Christian was the first person to receive anything back from the letter he sent. He was so excited to receive a response!"
MHJH and MHHS Winter Choir Concert - tonight in Dunbar Auditorium at 6:30!
Band holiday concert information attached!
Every year MHJH partners with The Food Bank of North Central Arkansas to raise money for meals by selling paper turkey feathers to students as a teacher recognition activity. Students purchase feathers for 25 cents each to show appreciation for a favorite teacher or recognize one for going the extra mile. The teacher with the most turkey feathers wins! For the past couple years, our journalism students have gotten to work the crime beat by writing a story about two alleged Turkey Bandits – our very own Coach Shrum and Coach King – who were detained by SRO Holland after being accused of stealing turkeys to win the competition. These coaches were great sports for a great cause and were both eventually exonerated on all charges! We love partnering with local charitable organizations to raise money while also recognizing the awesome work our teachers do for their students. Our teachers all say they appreciate recognition from their students more than any other type of recognition they receive!
Does my child do the same things other children his or her age do?
Some children need help walking, talking, seeing, hearing, or learning. Child
Find is a legal requirement that schools find all children who have
disabilities and who may be entitled to special education services. If you feel
your child needs help, contact the professionals at your local school district
or the Arkansas Special Education Resource Center (ASERC) at
1-800-482-8437. Special education services are available to all eligible
children birth to 21, in both public and private, including children who are
highly mobile, homeless and wards of the state.
Early detection is the key to helping your child get off to a good start.
Getting help today prepares your child for future success.
