The MHCA "halls" will be decked and open for your viewing pleasure and enjoyment as we have decorated in honor of Jesus' Birthday! Each door or pod has chosen a Christmas song to inspire their decor choice. Can you guess the song? Light Refreshments will be served. Wednesday, December 18, drop-in from 1:00-3:00pm.

Kindergarten has been talking about cows and dairy. Today, we made butter! Yum!

Also, just a reminder the "Happy Birthday Jesus" parties in the Early Ed building will be at 2:30 on Thursday, Dec. 19th not Dec. 12th as previous communications shared. Thank you!
First grade is practicing their measuring skills by making "hot chocolate" according to the recipe cards in our sensory table!
Hot chocolate is being served, shaken not stirred 😂
Parents are welcome to attend our Wednesday weekly chapels! Times vary a bit depending on the length of each guest's devotion but usually the chapel for 6th-12th grade begins around 8:00am and the chapel for K-5th grade begins between 8:20 and 8:30am. Hope to see some of you there this Wednesday!
Recently Fifth Grade held our own "Pie Day" as a culminating activity to reading the book, "PIE" by Sarah Weeks. Entries were judged by MHCA staff and the coveted "Blueberry Awards" were given out by Mrs. Peglar.
The lady Eagle Volleyball champions are continuing to raise money for their championship rings. They will be selling baked goods outside of Harps this Friday, Dec. 13 from 3-6pm. If you love to bake and would like to make something to donate to their sale, drop it by MHCA Thursday morning or bring it to the sale by 2:45 on Friday. If you can't bake, come shop the bake sale and support our athletes! Go Eagles!!
Fifth graders conducted an experiment on surface area. They tested crushed vs. whole peppermints disolving in warm water. They discovered that increased surface area meant a quicker dissolving rate.
Hanging at Rapp's Barren making hot chocolate to share at the parade.
It's a wrap! Third grade has completed the study of Asia. Students brought items that demonstrated the culture of the studied region. They enjoy the hands-on days, sharing knowledge with classmates.
Attention Cheerleaders!

We can't wait to see you at our Christmas Program this evening!
Kindergarten made frog puppets this morning. We are enjoying our fun Friday.
Just a reminder for families with students in grades 1-12: If your student was chosen by their teacher (they would have communicated with you about this) to represent MHCA in the Christmas parade tonight, they need to be dressed warmly and arrive at Regional Family Medicine Clinic by 5:30pm. Shepherd costumes will be provided. At the end of the parade, we will use the MHCA school van to transport students back to Regional Family Medicine for pickup. Thank You!
Also, if you are a parent of one of our student representatives and you'd be willing to walk with the float in the parade tonight, we could use a couple parents to help oversee. Please reach out to our volunteer coordinator Michelle Lindquist at 870-421-1719 if you can help. You will receive a family service hour for your time.
Fifth graders learned how tricky it can be to separate a mixture into its individual parts in science. A mixture of sand, sugar, iron filings and rice provided a big challenge. Tweezers, magnets, cheese cloth and water were all utilized to separate parts.
Christmas is coming!
