Bridges of Mountain Home recently received two grants from the Twin Lakes Community Foundation. One grant -- for $2,000 -- is for a clothing closet at the Nelson-Wilks-Herron campus, and the other is for $500 to purchase student snacks for each counseling office. We're grateful!
KTLO graciously allowed EAST students Marlee, Maggie, and Brantley to record a radio commercial advertising Pinkston Showcase that will take place on May 4th from 5:30-7:00 pm. Pinkston Showcase is an event that raises funds that go 100% directly to students. These funds help support events such as American Graffiti Day, Chocolate Day, and other rewards/incentives for the students! Along with being a fundraiser, students have the opportunity to show off their hard work from their classes at the event!
Pinkston Showcase: May 4 from 5:30-7:00 p.m.
Our dedicated, amazing volunteers are essential to our district. We could not serve our students and the community in the ways that we do without each of you! Happy Volunteer Appreciation Week! We appreciate you this week and always!
MHPS has delayed the following buses this morning until the weather passes: 39, 36, 51, 59, 25, 60, 27, 62, 28, and 45 . We will notify families when those buses begin running routes this morning.
We expect severe weather at drop off time this morning. School personnel will work diligently to get students out of vehicles/buses and into buildings, but we encourage parents to use their own judgment as to delays. Tardies this morning will be excused.
Happy National School Librarian Day to the BEST OF THE BEST: Jeri Thomas, Cheryl Human, Melissa Steiner, Karen Johnson, Shelli Jones, and Melissa Czeschin!
