Congratulations to MPHS Student of the Week, Adelyn Huston! Adelyn was nominated by Mrs. Schmidt, "Adelyn has been working very hard to be successful in FFA events lately. She has been rewarded for her hard work by being placed on the ballot for the SE District Reporter and advancing to District FFA competition in Ag Sales. She also was very inspirational to see as we delivered valentines to Pleasantview Nursing Home. It was easy to see how much she cares about the residents by the way she interacted with them."
