September 2016

Nebo School District is in need of substitute teachers, click here for more information.

On Monday the members of the 2016-17 HOPE Squad went to Shadow Mountain for their annual retreat. The students were introduced to the HOPE Squad advisers and the goals and objectives for the year were laid out. Throughout the year the students on HOPE Squad will be trained in QPR, which stands for Question, Persuade and Refer. Students will be trained in recognizing warning signs in their peers, persuading them to get help and referring them to an appropriate resource in order to get help. The intent of HOPE Squad is to offer hope through positive action at MJHS. 

Last week during parent teacher conferences the PTO held a raffle for BYU Football tickets. Ellie Savage and Jacob Memmott each won 2 tickets to the BYU vs Fresno game this Friday.  Thank you to our PTO for holding a a fun givaway! 

The person I have picked to represent The Spirit of the Mustang for the month of September is Melissa Heaton.  Our theme for this year is –Making a Mustang Difference. I believe Melissa makes a “Mustang” difference as a teacher, a mentor, a leader, and a friend.

Today the student government introduced our theme for the 2016-2017 "Make a Mustang Difference" with an amazing welcome back assembly.  The student government has worked all summer on this assembly which included games for the students and teachers and a dance.  Thanks to all the student and teacher volunteers for participating, it was a fun way to start off the school year!
