Congratulations to sophomores Sophia Harper and Allison Pilon who received a MCHS is You positive referral! Nominated by Mr. Brandon Wolfe, they both helped during a classroom medical emergency. A student was having a seizure and Sophia ran to get the nurse while Allison helped get the student to the ground and on their side so they didn't hit their head. Amazing job! 👏 #mchsproud
