Here is the lunch menu for the month of May!

MENU CHANGE FOR FRIDAY 4/30: Tomorrow's menu offering will be Wow Butter instead of ham and cheese.

Due to another generous gift from the Herb and Ellie Bailey Trust, MJHS now has scoreboards for softball, baseball, soccer, and field hockey. Mr. Ham and Mr. McCarthy creatively problem-solved a shared scoreboard between the softball and soccer/field hockey fields by installing it on a bracket that allows it to rotate. A separate scoreboard was installed for the baseball field. Many of the fans at today's home openers shared their appreciation.

Just a reminder that MJHS picture day is tomorrow, April 29th!
