Welcome Back!

Hopefully everyone enjoyed their

students as well. We would like to welcome

each and every one of them to MHS and we

hope you enjoy your time here.

Along with the new teachers and

students, there are a few other new changes

here at MHS. As everyone knows, the

construction of the new health care center

has started this year. It is expected to be

finished in December.

Our teachers have had some changes

as well. Mr. Sparks is now a full day

teacher, where as last year he was only here

half a day. Mr. Gifford is now in charge of

the newspaper and yearbook class and Mrs.

Lovejoy now teaches freshmen, sophomore,

and junior English classes. Mrs. Grooms and

Mrs. McFarland are both now half a day

teachers due to the “FIP” program we have

started this year. Mrs. Roberts moved from

the junior high to the Art Department,

teaching upper elementary, junior high and

high school Art classes. Mrs. Young returns

to the Math Department, teaching eighth

grade math.

With these changes, hopefully

everything runs smoothly and everyone has

a wonderful school year!

New School Health Center

What better way to start off the new

2012 school year than with a new

construction site here at MHS? Students

have learned that this building is to become

a new school based health center for

students at the school. Instead of them

having to be taken from school and taken to

a doctor to be treated, they can see a doctor

at the school clinic. Some students like the

idea of not having to go through the process

of waiting for their parents to pick them up

and driving them to the doctor when they

could just get treated from a few feet outside

the school building. Some students are not

sure how they like the idea of the new health

center.

Seniors are a bit disappointed. Some

of them say they will miss the courtyard

where the class planted trees and flowers at

the end of the year. Seniors are missing out

on eating lunch in the courtyard, also.

There is not much else to say about the

health center for now since it is just the

beginning of the school year and the new

building will probably be finished later in

the year. Hopefully it will be a great

addition to our school and be a success for

the students and the school itself. So

everyone keep their fingers crossed and

hope for the best!

Henschen, or any other of her friends. With

so many friends, it’s no wonder she has

never been stuffed in a locker. If Alyssa

could have a super power she would choose

to make time go by faster and the power of

fire. Miss Alyssa is single, so guys snatch

her up while you can! Impress her by getting

her some pizza and ice cream. Alyssa loves

the colors green and blue. You can catch her

in action and repping the blue on the

volleyball court or down at the track this

year. Alyssa would like to end by saying,

“Love, Alyssa!”

The second seventh grader is Mister

Rylee Manning. His friends normally call

him Ry. He was born on December 16,

1999, making him twelve years old. Being

in the junior high, he likes that he gets

treated more like an adult and not so much

as a little kid. Rylee’s favorite class is

science, making his favorite teacher Mr.

Michael. When asked who his friends were,

he said he had way too many to list. Rylee

has never been stuffed in a locker, but he

doesn’t think he would fit anyways. He will

be playing basketball for MJHS and baseball

in the summer. Hey Ladies, Rylee is single!

Snatch him up by bringing him his favorite

food, grilled BBQ chicken. His favorite

color is blue and he is an Oklahoma City

Thunder fan. His favorite senior would be

his big sister, Alli Taylor. If Rylee could

have one super power he would choose to be

invisible. Rylee would like to end by saying:

“I have the best sister ever” and “The end.”

Alli Taylor
