Update #11
Dear MHS Students,
We made it to the end of the school year! We are so proud of all of you for getting to this point. We know it hasn't been easy.
We would like to welcome the class of 2024 to the Guidance News and Updates page! We hope you enjoyed the Virtual Transition Day program and had a chance to make a Flipgrid introducing yourself to your Guidance Counselor.
It's officially time to say goodbye to Mrs. Mahoney who has been a counselor in our office for the last five years- we will miss you very much! We would also like to welcome Mrs. DiLuzio. Some of you got to know Mrs. DiLuzio when she filled in for Mrs. Mahoney's maternity leave. We are excited to have her back!
Please take a moment to review the information below. Although we will not be checking email on a daily basis this summer, please feel free to write to us if you need anything and we will get back to you. We hope you take time this summer to relax and find something to do that is meaningful to you. Read, get involved in a cause that's important to you, exercise, reach out to people in the community who may need help, help our your parents/guardians with tasks around the house. Take care of yourself and your friends and family.
We don't know exactly what the fall will look like, but fingers crossed we will be seeing you all in person very soon!
Sincerely,
The MHS Counselors
Mrs. Worthley, Mrs. Mahoney, Mrs. Lodge, Mrs. Padden, Mr. Ormberg, & Mr. Becker
