EXTRA HELP
Extra help will be available during Flex blocks as well as after school some Tuesdays and most Thursdays. Teachers may also offer extra help before school and those arrangements should be discussed directly with the teacher.
In addition, students may request assistance from a peer tutor (a list of peer tutors is available through the school counseling office).

FROM THE THEATRE SOCIETY
MHS Theatre Society Fall Musical: Little Shop of Horrors
November 22-24
What would you do if a plant offered you fame and fortune in exchange for human blood? For Seymour Krelbourn, the answer is simple. Give the plant what it wants.
Overtime, Audrey II begins to attract customers who are intrigued by its growing size. Yet, as the shop grows in popularity, so does the impending sense of doom filling the air. And, when people start going missing, this feeling is only heightened.
Little did Seymour know that as Audrey II got more and more blood, it would also become more and more greedy. Ultimately, Seymour’s fate shows that there is a price to pay for exchanging your morals for profit. Especially when those profit margins slowly become smaller.
