| Project Holiday Spirit was a huge success! Mr. Bob Kichish, coordinator, reported that $1655.28 was collected by MRHS students and faculty. Special thanks to National Honor Society, Student Council, and the International Gift Fair (Ms. Austin) for donating money. Fifty three Mainland students received gifts this holiday season with the money that was collected. |
Mrs. Sannino's Midwinter Festival on Jan 10 was a huge success. This showcase was an opportunity day for all performance classes. The performances were mods 1 through 3 and mods 5 through 9. It was a great opportunity for students who want to see how an audience responds to a piece of drama, dance or song that they've been working on in class.
