MCHS Choirs invites you to their annual Christmas Madrigal, A Cowboy In King Arthur’s Court. All the swords and armor in Camelot have rusted. It might be an evil enchantment. Or it might just be the weather in England. Merlin has no magic to fix things. Coincidentally, Rusty, a Texas cowboy, got plumb kicked into next week by a wild demon on four legs and wakes up in Camelot. It turns out this cowboy has a few tricks of his own to solve the problem.

Parents of Seniors!!!! On Monday, Nov. 13th WVC will be sending representatives to the high school to help your student set up their FSA ID in preparation for completing the FAFSA. Everyone will attend, even if they do not plan to attend or apply for college (There will be other paperwork that they will fill out in that case).
What your senior will need to create an FSA ID:
Full Name, address (with zip code), birthdate, Social Security number, non-school email that they can access (know the password to), cell phone for dual authentication, and their chrome book.
Please be sure that your student has all of these items with them/written down so that they can participate on Monday. Thank you for your help!
As a reminder, if your child ever needs help with homework, study for test and quizzes, and submit papers for proofreading, tutor.com is a great resource that is funded by our Gear Up grant, which is designed to help students achieve success in future college and career decisions. To access tutor.com, go to www.tutor.com/isacgu and login.
Jostens will be in the MCHS Library on Thursday, Nov. 16, to take graduation orders.
