What does a duck do at Christmas time?
... He duckorates ...
Not funny? How about: What do you call a disrespectful reindeer?
... Rude-olph
Still nothing? OK, try this one: I'm seen in December, but not any other month. What am I?
And the Lucky Duck of the week is ... Mrs. Lackie!! Who knew Duck Norris had a sense of humor?!?! Happy Holidays!
It was a Holly Jolly Donut Day for MHS faculty and staff. They warmed up with a cup of cocoa and a donut in celebratory fun for the holiday season.
MHS faculty and staff are at it again! Staff members brought the holiday cheer by wearing Grinch paraphernalia or the color green. Cheer to all the Whos in Patriotville!

This week MHS FCCLA club unloaded food boxes for the Senior Life Center's food pantry. Thank you Ms. Brown and FCCLA for this admirable service project.
MHS students embarked upon a bit of SEL with "Crafts & Conversations." The discussion topics were self-esteem and self-awareness, and the students made bracelets and key chains as a way of self-regulation and self-relaxation.
Mrs. Jamison's Spanish II classes had a blast on their mental vacation to South America. The students "toured" the continent learning about many different countries along the way and documented their discoveries.
MHS students recently had the opportunity visit Arkansas State University. Big thanks to MHS career coaches Whitley Green, Tyler Poole, and Montel Smith for another excellent activity and for all of their efforts to help our students gain the exposure they need to help with their post secondary decisions.
Kudos to Mrs. Jamie White's FACS classes for demonstrating their newfound knowledge of stitching that they learned last week to hand-stitch a design onto small pillows they constructed.
Pear Harbor Remembrance Day is celebrated annually in the U.S. in honor of the 2,000+ Americans who were killed in a surprise attack on Pearl Harbor in Hawaii on December 7, 1941. This led to the U.S. entering WWII.
Reminder: The Marion Community Christmas Parade is scheduled for tonight. Let's get out and get in the Christmas spirit!
Semester Exam time is approaching. Be mindful of the exam schedule as well as other daily routines that may change so that you can plan accordingly.
The MSD counselors went to the YMCA Memphis and participated in the Coats for Kids event. Each MSD campus got winter coats and hats for our students in need. We enjoyed our time there picking out what we thought our students would like. Each campus got 10 coats each.
Happy Thanksgiving from MHS!

The MHS National Honor Society is revamping its School Clothing Closet! This is a free resource for students in need. We are trying to get rid of negative stigmas and make students more comfortable with this resource. It will function more like a free thrift shop, and we could use any donations. Priorities are unused toiletries like toothbrushes, toothpaste, deodorant, hair brushes, hair ties, etc. With the winter months approaching, lightly used coats are also appreciated. The drive will be indefinite as we will always need items.
We all scream for ice cream, but can you do it in Spanish? Well, MHS students can! Today, Ms. Jamison's Spanish I class went to the ice cream shop to put their knowledge to the test by ordering their desserts in Spanish.
