Congratulations to Tina Breitenbach, Megan Ortega, Beth Caruso and Vanessa Kirk, our newest AVID Warriors! They completed the twelve-hour AVID strategies training. AVID is a 45-year-old national program that includes an elective class, where the goal is to help students achieve greater success in both the classroom and in their future. This is MCHS' third year as an AVID school.
Just in time for Mother's Day, the MCHS Environmental Club held a plant sale Thursday during lunch periods. Members sold plants they grew, such as sunflower and spider, as well as do-it-yourself planting kits.
