This week, MJHS hosted its annual New Student Welcome Breakfast. Our Principal's Cabinet Leaders shared suggestions on how to be successful this year while also informally chatting with their peers over donuts!
Also this week, our 6th-grade scientists became detectives (complete with mustaches) while practicing writing the CERs! Go Demons!
Last Friday’s fire alarm came with a special guest! Firefighter Jackie spent time with Wilson Creek classes to talk fire safety and celebrate everyone for staying calm, cool, and collected. 🚒🔥

Our Cycles and PE classes have been hard at work already, from A-Z Engineering and painting to Staple City projects and Head-Shoulders-Knees-and-Toes Cone Grab! A special thank you to Senora Smith's 7th and 8th-grade Spanish program for decorating the sidewalk in front of the school with messages for our MJHS Expectations Night! Great job, Demons!
Before diving into the Eureka Squared curriculum, all grade levels in the math department spent time working on critical skills, such as accountable (math) talk, collaborative, and teamwork. It was great seeing kids work on puzzles, debate random questions, and work through a cup stacking challenge!
