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!
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!

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.

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!
