MST Weekly Update
February 16, 2024
This week, our Health Professions CTE students completed the Food Truck Challenge. The students competed this project as part of a Nutrition Unit in the class. They all worked really hard and put a lot of effort into their trucks. They also had to come up with 2 Nutritious Meals on their menu. All 3 blocks voted for their 2 favorite trucks. Also voting were students in the Criminal Justice classes. It was great to see how hard they worked and how much fun they had. They were all very creative.
Four months from now, the Class of 2024 will have graduated from MST...if they are successful in completing their work. Every year, we have seniors who fall behind and struggle to catch up in time to attend the graduation ceremony. In order to attend the graduation ceremony, a student must have successfully completed all of their graduation requirements. If they do not, they will have the opportunity to finish over the summer and will receive a diploma when done.
Seniors who ae behind now must get caught up soon. The upcoming vacation is a great time to work on getting caught up. Teachers are available after school to help students who need assistance. A requirement for keeping late arrival or early release is that a student is up to date in all classes required for graduation. The privilege is being revoked from students until they are back on track. This is not meant as a punishment, we want all of our potential graduates at the ceremony on June 15th and will do everything that it takes to get them there. They have to want it and have to get the work done, however.
Manchester High School students will have an opportunity to earn Industry Recognized Credentials during February Vacation. IRC Con 2 will be held at Memorial High School February 27th-29th. The event is free of charge and breakfast, lunch and snacks will be provided.
Students can earn IRCs in Life Saving Skills, Save Serve Food Handing, Fire Extinguisher Safety and 21st Century Job Skills. register today at: https://bit.ly/IRCCon24
