Congratulations to our MPHS Student of the Week, Douglas Stephenson! Douglas was nominated by Mrs. Boman, "Douglas is super fun to have in class! Not only does he catch my mistakes (which are a few), but he is also very respectful towards me and his peers. Douglas puts in the hard work to learn the content, and it shows on his assessments as well as when he and I discuss science topics. I'm super excited to see what the future holds for him! I hope he is enjoying this class as much as I enjoy him as a student and human." Great work, Douglas!
Congratulations to MPHS Student of the Week, Jacob Flynn! Jacob was nominated by Mr Snakenburg, "Jacob has great ideas and points for discussion during class. I appreciate his insight and questions. He really elevates our discussions." Great job, Jacob!
Congratulations to our MPHS Students of the Week, Cadance Yoder and Jovi Evans! Cadance and Jovi were nominated by Mr. Cortum, "Both Cadance and Jovi are always very kind to other students and include them in all activities. They have really helped one of my students with his social skills and getting him out of his shell. They are always including him in things that they really don't need to, but it means a lot to him." Way to go, Cadance and Jovi!
