Challenge Day

If you really knew me...

We will be having a challenge day here at Madison next month.
Let's have the courage to celebrate the diversity of all people!

Mock Interviews

Mock Interviews will be held with Mrs Rohlman and Mrs Richmond's classes next month. The Madison Chamber of Commerce will be asked to help us out in interviewing for the fake position.
Interviews will most likely be on Feb 17th and 18th. Remember - even thought this is nor for a real job - you will be getting REAL experience interviewing with people who interview for a living. Ask them questions afterwards... make sure you are working on your A game.

Students are currently working on resumes and interview skills. Dress to Impress. Rohlman and Richmond will be able to tell you if you are interviewing or not, not all classes are participating.

Reminder...

“Better late than never, but never late is better”

I see a lot of tardy students in the halls... let's remember to take ourselves and our work seriously.

January 25th is the new date. I NEED new permission slips filled out for this as it is a new year. See me in the career center.

Wayne State Tour

Due to the snow days... our Wayne State Tour for seniors has been delayed. We will post the rescheduled date ASAP.
ONLY seniors for this one...

Reality Store

Thanks to our wonderful volunteers in the community MHS held a Reality Store.
What is a reality store?

Reality Store is financial simulation where high school students choose careers and make decisions about their budgets and lifestyles. The activity is a fun and effective way for students to learn about personal accounting, financial responsibility and life choices and interact with business people.

The project involves 20-plus local business volunteers. Students receive “paychecks” and random information regarding individual marital status and parenthood. Volunteers staff stations around the media center.

Stations include taxes, financial institution, real estate, apartment rentals, apparel, car dealer, credit cards, day care, gasoline, charities, memberships, entertainment, “fate,” gasoline, government, grocery store, insurance, investments, household products, phone company, cable TV and utilities. (Schools determine their own stations.) Students visit the stations, write checks and balance their checkbooks. Upon completion, they assess their decisions and financial status.
