Jodi is a fun, kind person who takes the time to help students.  Even some of the toughest students seem to do well in her class.  Last year I had a student who did not want to work in any of his classes, but when given a choice he would always choose to do the work for Jodi's class.  He chose to do the work for her class not because he loved health class, but because Jodi would make accomodations, and he felt valued.  Jodi shows the students that she cares.  

We had the privilege to have mother and son Sam and Christine Durst visit as guest speakers in Mrs. Groneman's College and Career Awareness classes this week.  Sam has cerebral palsy and does many kind things for others in our community.  He is a great example of sharing and being kind to others.  We are so happy they took the time out to visit our students and share with us his story.  

This month we kicked off our annual fundraiser. Our fundraiser this year is about “Making A Mustang Difference” to as many people as we can and will go until this Friday, November 11th.

Our fundraiser will support many different service projects throughout the year, we have one planned for each month. Examples are:

• Donating toys and necessities to children in need as well as students at MJHS in December for Christmas,

In conjunction with Bank of American Fork in Spanish Fork, we are once again collecting NEW Teddy Bears to give to children in crisis. There will be a collection box in the main office of MJHS for students to drop off donations November 17-December 13.  

Last week the MJHS choir's performed their Fall Concert.  The students put in a lot of time and practice preparing for performances, it was a great concert.   Thank you, Mr. Diehl for all your hard work!

Happy Halloween from MJHS!
