MMS Red Ribbon Week: “Piece” out to drugs ✌️☮️

The Hobbit t-shirts are in! We love them! Norah Williams drew the front graphic.
The Mena High School Theatre Department's public performance of "The Hobbit" is Saturday, November 15th at 7:00pm in the MHS Performing Arts Center.

🎉 Congratulations to Jaden Busby! 🎉

Jaden is the lucky winner of yesterday’s Red Ribbon Week activity! Students searched the halls of Mena High School to find hidden red ribbons, and Jaden’s ribbon was the one drawn—earning him a brand-new pair of AirPods!

Yesterday’s theme was “Drugs Can’t Find Me,” reminding us all to stay strong and make positive choices!

Mena FFA members have made it to Indianapolis and are ready to explore everything that National Convention has to offer!

Twin/Team Day @ HHE!!

We would like to extend our gratitude to Mountain AirFrame here at the Mena Municipal Airport!
They welcomed our 4th grade GT in and gave us a tour of their facility. We got to see firsthand what we’ve been studying in the Civil Air Patrol units. The students LOVED our time with them!

Thank you to Mena alumni Aubrey Strunck. Mr. Strunck is a part of the class of 1958 and sent in a donation for a job yearbook students completed for him earlier this month. Check out his action shots from the ‘58 football season.

This donation will be used to provide a deserving student a free yearbook to be distributed in May.
