We are so happy to utilize Kindness Week this year to help our community! We are partnering with Meals on Wheels to help homebound elderly in our community. Today we would like to spotlight exactly what Meals on Wheels does in our community: Meals on Wheels of Wichita County has a team of volunteers who work daily to deliver hot meals, and provide wellness checks to 700 homebound individuals in our community. A wellness check includes volunteers making sure that clients are healthy and safe. If volunteers find that a client needs extra help, then the social workers step in. The team of volunteers at Meals on Wheels, along with our team of social workers, give our homebound clients the resources and tools necessary to continue to live by themselves in their own homes for as long as possible. By providing case management services, we can assess the clients’ needs and provide them with resources and items to meet those needs or connect them to other agencies in the community that can assist them. The items needed for our homebound clients include hygiene items such as deodorant, toothpaste, mouthwash, lotion, chapstick, puzzle books, and cleaning supplies. We serve hundreds of senior citizens, and 8 out of every 10 clients we see need some sort of resource/assistance that we can provide them with. It is so important for these individuals in our community to have a connection to resources and know they are cared for and not alone. We will be collecting donations from now to January 31 to benefit these individuals! #itsabetterViewasaMustang

ATTENTION: Your voices have been heard! Mrs. Sid has been in contact with the photographers. All senior retakes will be JANUARY 14 after we return from break. If you're curious, we had multiple inconsistencies with our senior pictures, such as poses, caps and gowns, and collars. In an effort to make our yearbook as well-made as possible, retakes are being done. Please schedule any haircuts and other grooming appointments so that you are ready to go on January 14. We apologize for any inconvenience this has caused; we want the pictures & yearbook to be the absolute best quality for your student's senior year! Thank you for your understanding and grace.

The bad news: we had a slight hiccup with our senior pictures... The good news: we will be retaking ALL SENIOR photos this Thursday. Please come with an undershirt as we will be redoing both cap & gown & drapes. Thank you!

Donations are due TOMORROW! Please donate to Hospice! This is an amazing organization, and we hope to make a difference.

🏚️📜 US History Comes to Life: Hooverville Shelter Project 📜🏚️ Our students have been diving into the challenges of the Great Depression in Coach Gonzalez's class by building their own Hooverville shelters! This hands-on project gave them a chance to step into the shoes of those who lived through this difficult era, experiencing the creativity and resilience it took to survive. During the Great Depression, many people who lost their homes built makeshift communities, called Hoovervilles, using whatever materials they could find. By recreating these shelters, students developed a deeper understanding of the struggles faced by so many during this time in history. This project encourages empathy, problem-solving, and a greater appreciation for the resilience of the human spirit. Way to go, history-makers! #itsabetterviewasamustang

🍔🚚 Math in Action: Food Truck Fun! 🚚🍟 Our 6th-grade students have been hard at work in Mrs. Ponto's class, mastering decimals and percentages! Over the past few weeks, they’ve learned how to add, subtract, multiply, and divide decimals, as well as find percents of a number. To put their skills to the test, they designed their very own food truck businesses! 🎨 They created trucks, flyers, and menus. 🧾 Took food orders to calculate subtotals, tax, tip, discounts, and grand totals. 💡 Learned how math applies to real-life situations in a creative and fun way! Way to go, future entrepreneurs! 🌟 We’re so proud of their hard work and creativity. #itsabetterviewasamustang
