Nurse's Notes.....

Dear Marinette High School Families,

As the holiday season approaches, I want to extend my warmest wishes for a joyous Christmas season. This special time of year reminds us to pause, savor moments with loved ones, and find gratitude.

Spreading Holiday Cheer

At Marinette High School, we are embracing the season with festive activities and opportunities to give back to our community. Here are some highlights:

• Holiday Spirit: Students and staff are invited to join the fun with door-decorating contests and themed dress-up days throughout December. Look for more details posted around the school and in our daily announcements.
• Winter Concerts: Celebrate the season with performances from our talented musicians. All events will be held in the MHS Auditorium:
• Choir Concert: Saturday, December 9, 7:30 p.m.
• Band Concert: Saturday, December 16
• 5th Grade Band: 6:00 p.m.

• Giving Back: Thank you for supporting the Penny Wars fundraiser for the Make-A-Wish Foundation and the Fill the Boat campaign, which collected items for The Salvation Army, Angel Tree, and The Rainbow House. Your generosity helps bring joy to families in need this holiday season.

A Time for Connection

The holidays also remind us of the importance of connection—both at home and in our school community. I encourage everyone to take time to unplug, share stories, and enjoy the company of friends and family. These moments strengthen the bonds that make our community thrive, and I’m truly grateful for the connections we share at MHS.

Connecting and Learning with Parents

We’re committed to partnering with parents to ensure every student thrives academically, socially, and emotionally. To better support you, we’re conducting a short survey to understand the topics you’d find most helpful regarding your child’s education and our school programs. Please take a moment to share your input by completing the survey here. Thank you for your time and feedback!

Wishing You Joy and Peace

On behalf of all of us at MHS, I wish you a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year. May your holidays be filled with warmth, laughter, and cherished memories.

Warm regards,

Mr. Steve Linssen

Principal, Marinette High School
