Sources of Strength

/in /by

We are proud to introduce “Sources of Strength,” an international suicide prevention program funded by a grant from the Idaho Lives Project.   Eleven MTCHS and nine MMACHS students have teamed up with advisors Mary Helen Green and Melissa Bishop on a mission to spread hope, help, and strength into every corner of our community.   Their goal is to encourage students to focus on hope, help, and strength when they are dealing with difficult times, depression, and trauma.

SOS Peer Leaders put together a short video to introduce the program and its goals to both schools.

This week’s project was the Thankfulness Challenge.  Every student and staff member was given a leaf and told to write something they were thankful for.  These leaves were put up in a colorful cornucopia display on the wall in Haley Hall for all to see.

You can find more information about the Sources of Strength program at https://sourcesofstrength.org/

Veterans Day Assembly

MTCHS would like to thank all of our honored guests for your presence at this morning’s Veterans Day Assembly!  Our veterans are so important to us, and cannot be thanked enough for their service to us and to our country.

Special thanks to guest speaker and Army veteran Chief Patrick Calley of the Eagle Police Department, Ada County Sheriff’s Office.   Chief Calley spoke of the gift of freedom represented in our American flag and passed on from generation to generation.

Happy Veterans Day to one and all.  We are grateful for your service.

Veterans Day Assembly

MTCHS will hold our annual Veterans Day Assembly at the school on Friday November 9th  from 8:00 am to 9:00 am. We will be honoring veterans and active duty members of the Armed Services. Student Government is inviting any parents or family members from our community who are veterans or active duty to join us.

Students have been emailed a link to a form from Student Government to fill out with their guest’s name.  Please get this done by Wednesday, November 7th.

Please remember that we are all showing our honor and respect for our service men and women with Professional Dress Day.

Last year MTCHS was treated with a helicopter display, this will not happen this year, as that crew has been deployed to Afghanistan.  Student Government would like to show our appreciation to the crew by sending them a care package.  We are in contact with the families and will provide their favorite treats, but shipping overseas is very expensive.  If you would like to donate a dollar or two for shipping you can drop it off at the front office or donate at the online store by selecting “Pay or donate to MTCHS” and apply payment to “Student Government” by Monday November 12.
