Happy Holidays!

Sources of Strength
Sources of Strength is an international suicide prevention program funded by a grant from the Idaho Lives Project. This year’s group includes fourteen MTCHS and fourteen MMACHS students who have teamed up with advisors Mary Helen Green and Melissa Bishop. Their goal is to encourage students to focus on hope, help, and strength when they are dealing with difficult times, depression, and trauma.
One of their recent projects focused on the aspect of being positive friends and words that might help others who may be feeling anxious, depressed, sad, or overwhelmed. SoS peer leaders invited student input, and Evie and Emma made posters from words our students provided.
And the winner is…..
Everyone! The school really came together and created some amazing baskets for the Student Government Holiday Basket Drive! Canned food and cash donations arrived in abundance, and the total amount earned for gift card was $703.81! Just imagine all the families that are being helped with this event! Well done Dragons!
But there was serious competition involved, and everyone was anxious to hear who won the prizes!
The award for the best Holiday Basket goes to Mr. Taylor and Mr. Erickson’s senior classes, co-collaborators of the Christmas tree basket. They are getting donuts for their creative work.
Winners of the pizza party for having the biggest donation: Mr. Bodell’s Earth Science class! They donated a whopping $267.06 to the gift card fund! Amazing job, Freshmen!
Student Government thanks everyone for their contributions!

Holiday baskets
Student Government’s 2019 Holiday Basket Drive is almost over. We ask that any final items be brought into first period class, as all baskets will be decorated and placed in Haley Hall for pictures and staff judging! Any monetary donations for gift cards are due by 2:15 tomorrow afternoon (December 19).
Baskets are looking amazing so far, let’s make this a wonderful year for Treasure Valley families in need of a little help this holiday season!
Blanket donations
The Idaho Humane Society came today and picked up piles and piles of soft blankets from the NHS blanket drive… 78 in total! Thank you students! Your donations will go a long ways to provide warmth and comfort to dogs and cats at the shelter!
Donations of blankets are always welcome at the Humane Society for those who didn’t get their blankets here in time.
