International Diaspora Museum

/in /by

Last month, National Honor Society was pleased to present a check in the amount of $578.50 to Palina Louangketh, founder of the Idaho Museum of International Diaspora.

In the Spring of this year, NHS member Teresa Fong presented information about the creation of this unique museum to her fellow Honor Society members.  This will be one of the only museums in the world to focus on a variety of cultural and ethnic groups and their journey from their homelands.  The museum is in its infancy, and funds are needed for land and a building.  NHS students decided to help out and began a series of fundraisers at the school, holding a bake sale, selling ice cream, hosting a movie night, and sponsoring a hat day at the school.

All the best wishes to Palina as she pursues her dream of bringing the story of diaspora in Idaho to life!

Dutch Bros Pros!

Mrs. Grainger’s Business 3 class wishes to say “Thank you” to Dutch Bros Meridian for a fun and informative onsite visit this morning.   Jeff Yarnall and his team provided an insider view of what it is like to run a successful business and ensure amazing customer service.  They also shared some amazing beverages and sent the class away with a nice, unexpected gift package!

 

And the Socktober winners are…

/in /by

Seniors have proven that they will not go down without a fight… in fact they refuse to go down at all!  The class of 2020 is known for never losing a grade level competition, and when they heard that the Sophomores had a late surge in sock donations yesterday afternoon, they couldn’t allow it to stand.  With ten minutes to spare before the school closed for the day, the Seniors pooled together for one last donation of 102 pairs of socks! This brings their total amount of socks donated to 459!  Well done, Seniors!

Did you ever work this hard for an extra 10 minutes of lunchtime? ;)

This has been an amazing Socktober, and we broke records with an astonishing 1,029 pairs of socks donated!  That’s A LOT OF SOCKS!  Beyond the friendly competition, Socktober is all about helping others, and we appreciate all of those students who pitched in to make this happen!

Great job, Dragons!

Idaho Hispanic Youth Leadership Summit

On Wednesday, October 23, two MTCHS students attended the Idaho Hispanic Youth Leadership Summit with Counselor Mary Helen Green at Boise State University.  Gio and Evie had the opportunity to attend a variety of workshops on subjects like leadership, STEM, and college preparation, listen to a fascinating keynote speaker, and apply for BSU Scholarships.  The Summit is organized by the Idaho Commission on Hispanic Affairs, and encourages Idaho’s Hispanic youth to take on leadership positions in our communities.
