Field Day is May 15th!
A Great time at Jae's Place with our new boots and new knowledge about suicide and mental health awareness.
All students at MJH went to Jae's Place in Twin Falls and learned about using cowboy boots to start conversations about mental health and suicide awareness. Each student received their own special "Jae's Boots", and MJH will be holding weekly "boot check moments" when students all wear their boots and make a conscious effort to reach out in some way to someone who may be in need of a boost or recognition in any positive way.

Thank you for your support last week as we had to utilize alternate bus routes. All bus routes will return back to regular routes this week.
3 MJH students were rewarded with Soda Frenzy! These students have shown responsibility in attendance, grades, and behavior. Way to go!
Please NOTE: An additional route in the Acequia area - bus 154 has been added to the list.
Parents: Because of the road conditions, weather and continued melting snow, we will implement alternate bus routes for FEBRUARY 7-8, 2024. Some bus routes will be affected (see image for affected routes). Please turn on your emergency flashers so bus drivers know when to stop. We will start picking up students at 6:20 AM the furthest out and moving towards town. In the afternoon, please return to the intersection to pick up your students (both elementary and then again for secondary). This will affect the following buses. We realize this is an inconvenience for parents, but this is a precaution being taken for roads affected by the rain, melting snow, and severely muddy roads. If you have questions, please call 208-436-4727.
