This immersive experience served as a powerful bridge to our Personal Finance curriculum and the Investment Club's focus on investing by allowing students to see classroom concepts like asset allocation and risk management applied in a live, professional environment. By engaging with collegiate mentors and observing real-time trading operations, MHS students gained invaluable insights into the complexities of professional-grade market analysis.
In addition to an informational session that included learning about high school courses, extracurricular opportunities, and resources, 8th graders enjoyed several activities and a Q&A session with MHS seniors.

On March 21, Pierce celebrated World Down Syndrome Day. Students and staff were invited to wear crazy mismatched socks to represent the uniqueness of the triplication (trisomy) of the 21st chromosome that causes Down syndrome.

From coloring and therapy dogs to mindful writing exercises and volleyball (with some bedazzling to jazz the whole thing up) Mindful Mondays at MHS have been a big hit!
MHS student leaders have received positive feedback on their Mindful Mondays and appreciate all the participation from MHS students and staff.
