Mrs. Fandel, Mrs. Cooper, and Mrs. Murphy had the pleasure of meeting author Josh Sundquist over the weekend at the Illinois Farm Bureau Conference. All three teachers have taught Josh's best-selling memoir We Should Hang Out Sometime for several years in English II classes. Mr. Sundquist was gracious enough to spend time with these teachers and answer some of their students' questions about his awesome story.
Congratulations to our 6, yes, that's right, 6 MTHS Archers who qualified for State this Saturday in Mattoon, Illinois! These athletes have worked very hard and deserve all the recognition: Tyler Crosiar, Megan Eller, Cecilia Evans, Noah Merrill, Aubree Sparry, and Damian's Winemiller!
MTHS has not just one National Educators Rising qualifier, but TWO! State competition scores were just released, and in addition to Grayce Wolven who won first place in state in Children's Lit K-3, automatically qualifying her to compete at the National Educators Rising Conference in Orlando this June, we learned today that Abrianna Schertz, who competed in the Job Interview competition, placed in the top 10 in the state and received a score above 90%, qualifying her to compete at nationals as well!
Way to go, Abrianna and Grayce!
