Here's what's happening this week:
Just a reminder about the dress code, at this time, we expect all students to be in our full school uniform each day for school, excluding Thursdays which are MHCA Tshirt day. If your student is unable to do that due to not having some of the uniform pieces, please reach out to us so that we will know. Students may wear winter coats of any kind, but as soon as they step into the school building, those coats need to be removed and are only put on again if the student is exiting the building to go outside. If your student is cold-natured in the classroom, they may wear a school approved outerwear from the portal or solid school colored long sleeve shirt under the school polo. As winter approaches, black tights are a great addition to help with warmth for those who have purchased the skirts. Thanks so much for your help in this area.

After receiving board approval, I’m excited to share details about MHCA’s newest discipleship program — The Armor Room. The goal of this program is to help develop our young men in a challenging but vital area: emotional and spiritual health. We’ll be pursuing this growth through intense Bible studies paired with submission grappling as a way to build discipline, confidence, and brotherhood.
Because of the physical nature of the program, we believe it’s important to involve parents directly in the process. To that end, I’ll be hosting a parent meeting on November 10, at 5:30 p.m. (immediately following basketball practice).
During this meeting, I’ll present the vision and structure of The Armor Room, answer any questions you may have, and provide the mandatory liability and medical waiver required for participation. While attendance at the meeting is not required for your son to participate, it is highly encouraged to ensure you have a full understanding of the program.
Parents are also welcome to attend any Armor Room sessions to observe firsthand what your sons are learning and experiencing.
Thank you for allowing us at MHCA to continue discipling your students as they grow into Christlike young men.
A couple of important announcements:
The Christian Clinic is in need of many items, and with the government shutdown those needs may be amplified. MHCA has committed to help fill a need. We are hosting a diaper drive! We will begin accepting packages of diapers beginning Nov. 3rd - Nov. 14th. Help us help our brothers and sisters in our community!
