📣 Happy 67th Day of School! At this point in the year, we’ve been in school long enough to know two things: 1️⃣ The number 67 now lives rent-free in all our junior high brains. 2️⃣ Our students will find any excuse to make a 6–7 joke. Here’s to day 67—may it be 6-7 times better than yesterday! 😄 #Day67 #SixSevenJokes #MJH

🛑💬 Bullying Prevention at MJH 💬🛑 Today our students participated in the Crimestoppers Bullying Prevention program, learning about David’s Legacy and the powerful message behind standing up, speaking out, and supporting one another. The presentation reminded our students that kindness is strength, actions matter, and every voice can help stop bullying. ❤️ Thank you to Crimestoppers for empowering our Blackcats with tools to make our campus safer and stronger.

📚🇺🇸 US History Goes Mobile! 🇺🇸📚 Our 8th grade students hit the library today for a mobile scavenger hunt, turning history into a hands-on adventure! They played “Who’s Who?” to identify the signers of the Constitution — and even tackled a tricky bonus question that kept everyone on their toes! 🧐✨ Lots of teamwork, lots of learning, and LOTS of fun
