My Project

MHS's Class of 2025 has been working Hard this year balancing academics, athletics, and home life. Though they are so excited for their next adventure after high school, they are keeping their heads in the game and focused on maintaining or raising their GPA's. Most seniors have taken an action step (whether it be applying to college, interviewing with a trade school or workforce representative, or connecting with a military recruiter), and are currently working on FAFSA completion and/or scholarships.

A lot of our seniors are unfortunately faced with financial barriers in pursuing their postsecondary plan.

We are hoping to take a little bit of stress off their plates by providing them with some essential items from as little as a shower caddy to a nice, comfy thinking chair with a laptop desk in their working corner.

Our students don't ask for much and I am certain these gifts will make their day on Senior Signing Day. Imagine the smiles on their faces when they go up to the podium, proudly announce where they are committing to, and receiving an opportunity to win one of these great raffle prizes...and to know You made that impact in their life.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts.
