MCHS students had the amazing opportunity to participate in Teens Activating the Language of Kindness (TALK) Day. This day-long program is run completely by student leaders, aims to break down barriers between peer groups, and allow students a safe, judgment free environment to be themselves and teach students that they are not alone in their struggles. #mchsproud 🧡🖤

Congratulations to junior Makayla Maiberger who received a positive referral! Mrs. Tracey Adams nominated her because she is routinely thinking of others and doing what she can to help them or make them feel good. She shared copies with a friend who needed them in class and she attended a college visit presentation even though she had no intention of going to this college, but no other students attended. She’s kind-hearted and sensitive to others. Way to go, Makayla! #mchsproud
