This afternoon, MJHS students and volunteers ran with officers from the Manhattan Police Department at their very first Demon Dash Color Run! Students ran to support the MPD in their efforts to support the Special Olympics Illinois! All money raised for the Demon Dash Color Run will be donated to the Manhattan Police Department for the Law Enforcement Torch Run and the Special Olympics Illinois. Way to go, Demons!
The MJHS Demon Choir celebrated summer a little early by singing the National Anthem and the 7th inning stretch at the Joliet Slammers Game this past Wednesday! We're so proud of all of our Demon singers for representing us in the best way!

With the end of the year approaching, our 7th grade ELA classes just wrapped up the novel, "The Outsiders" with their annual mock trial for the book character, Johnny. Every student in the class had a role in the trial, whether it was the judge, bailiff, lawyers, witnesses, jury, or news media. All students put on wonderful performances while simultaneously demonstrating their comprehension of the novel's plot and character development. Nice work, Demons!
Wonderful job Anna McDonald band, choir, & orchestra. The official last performance of the year was fantastic!
A big "BRAVO!" from WC to the MJHS band, orchestra, and choir. We were so excited and proud to see relatives and enjoyed singing along!
