On Friday, the Mount Markham Senior Class held its Annual Welcome Back Movie Night in the stadium! The seniors chose The Lorax to be shown on the big screen. Thanks to everyone who helped make sure this event was a success!
Over the past two days, students in Ms. Culver's ELA 9 class were encouraged to explore the library and find independent reading titles by working together, under the guidance of Ms. Bailey and Ms. Tabor, to create Book Charcuterie Boards. Students reviewed the text of 5-7 novels and justified why and where each title should be included on their Book Charcuterie Board. Categories included Olives for Horror, Chocolate for Romance, Salted Meats for Realistic Fiction, and more. To round out the activity, Ms. Teater invited students into the Connected Community Schools HUB for a snack tray of goodies to celebrate a job well done.
Please see flyer for the Senior Class Movie Night event!
The Senior Class has a website! On the Mount Markham homepage, go to "High School," then select, "Menu" and scroll down to "Class of 2024!" The link can also be found below! This site is to keep Seniors and their families up to date on important events!

Mount Markham High School's Spirit Tree is all lit up and decorated for autumn (and Buddy the Elf is pretty excited about the return of our students and teachers)!
This year we have the incredible opportunity to work with playwright, Brenda Fager, on the premiere of "Chasing the Carpe Diem" for the HS stage! See Ms. Culver or Ms. Nelson for details.
To start off the new school year, Mrs. Boston, Mrs. Moshier, and Mrs. Pauley took the 9th-grade Freshman Seminar students on a scavenger hunt around the high school. Students had to complete activities such as opening their locker, checking out a book from the library, finding the guidance office, checking out the HUB, and much more. Students had a great time getting to know their new school building!
