SOCKTOBER

/in /by
   Things are winding up for this year’s Socktober event! Each grade level has brought in a respectable amount of socks, with rumours of big donations coming tomorrow! There’s still time to tilt the scales and make one class the big winner of ten extra minutes of lunch! It’s all about class pride, now…. let’s see how many socks we can collect for this worthy cause!
   Socktober is a movement that was started in 2011 when founder Brad Montague discovered that socks are the items least donated to homeless shelters. MTCHS has done its part for three of the last four years, collecting 154 pairs of socks in 2015, 381 in 2016, and a whopping 987 pairs in 2017!!!
We’re all eager to see what our totals will be at the end of the day tomorrow!

VEX Robotics

The MTCHS VEX Robotics club participated at the Wood River Annual Halloween Spook VRC competition.  The team did well, winning four of the six qualifying matches, placing 12th out of 36.  Unfortunately, they lost in the first round of the tournament by only a few points.  It was a great experience for our young team, and they are looking forward to the next event!

PSATs today!

/in /by

This morning the sophomores and juniors will take the PSAT/NMSQT during the regular school day. This is a preliminary or practice SAT for the most part. Juniors, however, can qualify as National Merit Scholars if they score well.  

Testing began at 7:55 and will last until lunchtime.

The Preliminary SAT/National Merit Scholarship Qualifying Test (PSAT/NMSQT) is a standardized test administered by the College Board and cosponsored by the National Merit Scholarship Corporation (NMSC) in the United States.
