Congratulations to our MHS November MVPs! This year we are choosing one student from each grade level, decided by a team of teachers, each month. Each student received a candy bar, soda, an exclusive Morrison gear t-shirt and they also got to choose $20 worth of prizes. The team of teachers felt that each student was: A student who selflessly helps others A student who is kind & caring with their words, actions, social media posts, etc. A student who is respectful of other people & their belongings A student who is responsible for themselves & their belongings A student who is honest & a good role model to their peers & younger students Freshman: Maddy Huizenga Sophomores: Elle Milnes Juniors: Emily Arias Seniors: Blake Huizenga Great job everyone!
