The January teacher and students of the month are so deserving! Brian, Karla, Alberto, and Ronan are all hard working students who make good grades, have excellent attendance, work hard, and participate in extracurricular activities. They are going to make an impact on the world!
Ms. Foote was nominated by students, one of whom stated, "Ms. Foote continually gives forth her best effort to teach kids; not only in the curriculum, but also in real life situations. She has also gotten most of her AVID students into colleges already (with scholarships)."
We are so fortunate to have these people walking in greatness at MUSHS!
