I am thrilled to announce that best-selling author Cameron Tuttle will be visiting MJHS on 9/26 to talk about her first YA book, Paisley Hanover Acts Out.  I read the whole book last night and LOVED IT!  It is super cute, funny, and snarky...all at once.  Paisley Hanover ROCKS!  If interested, you may pre-purchase a copy of the book to be autographed.  The cost is $12.00 (cash or check).      

 

Welcome back to the MJHS Learning Resource Center!  We are are so excited to catch up with returning students and meet all the new students.  Students will visit the LRC during the week of 9/2-9/5 for LRC Orientation.  See you then!
