Summary

Student liaisons and council members highlighted spirit week, a successful pep rally and homecoming events, a split two-day club fair to reduce crowding, upcoming theater performances of A Monster Calls, and new mentorship and outreach programs for freshmen.

Student liaisons and student-council members opened the meeting with a rundown of recent student life highlights.

They described spirit week activities (PJ day, twin day, decades day, Tiger Spirit Day), a pep rally that coincided with Homecoming and a large turnout for the Friday game that included a pink-out for Breast Cancer Awareness Month. One student liaison said the pep rally and homecoming events were "super duper fun," and noted that a field-hockey/football group won the pep-rally dance competition.

Student council members described logistics improvements for this year's club fair, which was split across two days and organized alphabetically to reduce congestion; the council created an online map and a clear key that they posted on Instagram and Student Square to help younger students navigate the fair. Council members promoted the school production of A Monster Calls (noting Mr. Moore as director) and encouraged the community to buy tickets via the website or at the door.

Other student-focused initiatives announced included freshmen elections that produced a six-member freshman council and the launch of the Tiger Teammates mentorship program and the Meet a Friend event to support students needing social connection.

What to expect

Students encouraged community attendance at athletic events and the school play and asked listeners to follow the MHS Info Instagram account for photos and highlight reels.
