Scholastic Bowl Update: On Thursday, January 18th, MPHS Scholastic Bowl travelled to Delavan where our JV team (photo) had an excellent showing. Captain Charity Woodford, Adison Sanchez, Juan Andrade, and Liam Doherty beat Illini Bluffs 80-40 and Delavan 140-50. The Varsity team beat Delavan 100-90. We travel to Hartem tomorrow to take them on as well as Illini Bluffs and Midwest Central. Fun Facts about scholastic bowl---Both Varsity and JV get the same exact questions. They play at the same time, but in different rooms against different teams (in the end we play the same teams, but in different order) AND our JV team was down a player compared to the other schools---and they almost beat Athens (who is the best team in our conference--they lost by one question) The JV team was fire last week.

It's Pack the Gym Night for the Hilltoppers! The west gym entrance will be closed for entrance during the basketball game this evening. It is useable for egress in the event of an emergency, but will not be available for entry into the event. If you park in the main west parking lot, you will enter the building at the far southwest corner. This is our old, back athletics entrance. It is on the end of the building on the right side when facing the west gym entrance. The front doors by the flagpole will also be open. Doors open to the public at 5:30 p.m. FFA will be selling pork chop sandwiches until they run out! Please spread the word if you have friends or relatives who plan to attend that may not check social media.

Scary Story Winners
The freezing and thawing of the fire suppression (sprinkler) system at the west gym entrance caused a fire alarm and evacuation of the building at approximately 2:45 p.m. today. The fire department investigated the issue, professional cleanup is occurring, and the fire suppression maintenance team has started assessing the issue. While our fire suppression system is not currently functional, we have met all of the alternative protocols set in place by the fire chief to go forward with in-person learning at the high school tomorrow (Thursday, January 18, 2024). That being said, the west multipurpose gym entrance will be closed on Thursday, January 18, 2024. The fire suppression maintenance staff will be focused on making the repairs to get the system up and running in a timely manner. Student and staff drivers will need to enter the high school through the southwest doors (by Mr. Waterkotte’s and Mrs. Campbell’s rooms). Thank you for your patience and understanding in this matter.

During 8th hour today, the fire alarm activated and we evacuated the building. Due to the temperatures outside, and the proximity to the end of day, students were allowed into the building to collect their belongings (with the permission of the fire department) and were then allowed to leave for the day. Students left as early as 3:00 p.m. Students who ride a bus were placed on busses at 3:00 p.m. and will arrive home on their usual routes at their regularly scheduled times. All practices at the high school are cancelled for after school.
