This Week at MMJH!
Join us, get involved, and cheer on our Panthers! We love seeing our community show up to support our amazing students!

Algebra 1 students got to celebrate Halloween in Mr. Tate's class by playing graphing glow bingo. Nothing like blacklights and highlighters to get everyone participating, of course everyone got candy in the end.

On Saturday, three runners from the C-GRF cross country team will compete in sectionals at Lake Land College to earn a spot in the state race. Senior Leah Phipps will compete in the girls race at 10 am. Aidan Morgan and Casen Rogers will compete in the boys race at 11 am. Good luck and run fast. Buff and Card Nation, Let's Ride!

Mary Miller Junior High had their very first House Challenge today, a Halloween relay race! The energy in the gym was truly indescribable as students cheered for all the houses. Our winner of the first house challenge was....... RÊVEUR!

We are so proud of our students who put themselves out there and participated in the relay, and we can't wait for our future house challenges!

4th and 5th graders competed in some Halloween themed activities in PE today! Looks like they've got it all wrapped up and are ready to trick-or-treat. 🎃👻

Last Wednesday, representatives from Lambert Farms, Such Seeds, Wyffels Hybrids, and Golden Harvest visited the GRHS FFA plot to assist with harvest! Students had the chance to see the equipment in action and talk with professionals who work in the agriculture industry every day.

Some even got to ride in the combine—chatting with the operator and experiencing firsthand what it’s like inside the cab! Despite the chilly weather, it was an incredible day of hands-on learning and real-world experience outside the classroom.

Students in Mrs. Davis' 2nd grade class are learning about families and where we come from in Social Studies this week. Today, students worked together to learn about cultures around the world and how families are blended within the USA!
