SENIOR PROM MEETING-There will be a SENIOR PROM meeting Thursday, March 28th in room 2216 for any seniors that are interested in planning for prom on June 6th. This year's theme is Old Hollywood. Everyone interested is asked to attend!

HEADSTRONG SUMMIT-Headstrong Summit students please go to room 2004 at recess break.

GARDEN CLUB-There will be a meeting for all students that are interested on Thursday, March 28th, in the Family Studies room (12:15pm) for a lunchtime information session. Our community's Thoughtful Food Project is working with Ms. Pye and Mrs. Doucette to start a new club: the Garden Hacks. This is not your nanny's typical garden club! Club members will be considered volunteers of the Thoughtful Food Project, which holds lots of value on resumes and post-secondary applications. The Club is all about hands-on learning, meeting and working with outside experts in all areas of science, and systems thinking. Don't know what systems-thinking is? All the more reason to join! No matter your future career, system-thinkers are the game-changers that rise to the top. Members in good standing will be able to use Club leaders as references for other endeavors.

MRHS MERCH STORE-The MRHS Merch Store is now being hosted in room 1308 every Thursday.
