MAR/WARS is excited for the REBUILT season!
Big things are happening in our classroom!
We are incredibly grateful to The Hambrick Foundation for their continued and generous support of our education initiatives. Thanks to recent $1,000 grants awarded to Jake Godinez and Amy Zobrist, our students have been hard at work transforming their learning environment!
The Hambrick Foundation is a local family-led organization dedicated to supporting individuals and educators in the education community. Their kindness has allowed us to invest in several new items that promote movement, focus, and independence, including:
Ergonomic Office Chairs (which the students did a fantastic job assembling themselves! 🔧)
Flexible Seating, like wobble stools, bean bags, and saucer chairs
Standing Desks for an adjustable workspace
A Treadmill Desk to keep brains active while staying on the move
It’s been a joy to see the students take ownership of their new space—from unboxing and following assembly instructions to testing out their new treadmill desk.
Thank you, Hambrick Foundation, for investing in our Redbirds and helping us create a classroom where every student can thrive! 🎒❤️

Honors Spanish IV students celebrated New Years around the world learning about traditions and new beginnings in different countries! Whether it was joining Brazilians as they jumped seven waves for seven wishes, drinking the ashes of our wishes with Russians, or breaking plates and glasses with people from Denmark to scare out the negative energy, we had lots of fun together starting second semester!

It was a special night at MTHS as we honored Kaidance Till for her selection as a 2025 Softball All-American. Success at this level doesn't happen by accident—it’s the result of countless hours of practice and a true passion for the game. Recognizing Kaidance during our home basketball game was a great moment for our school community to celebrate one of our finest.
Congratulations, Kaidance! The MTHS family is behind you all the way. Best of luck this spring at Ole Miss!🥎❤️

Wags of Wisdom from Crosby
As we wrap up another semester and step into a new year, we’re reminded that seasons come and go—some chapters close while new ones begin. Count your blessings and choose to enjoy each day, regardless of the bumps along the way.
This week’s Wags of Wisdom includes a special highlight of Kari Ray, who will be leaving MTHS to begin a new venture. We thank her for her years of service and wish her nothing but the best as she starts this next chapter.
Wishing you all a very Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year! 🎄✨
