Important: MHS is currently experiencing a power outage. Ameren is aware and working on the issue. However, there is no estimate for power restoration at this time.
Until power is restored, there will be limited speakers available for tonight's football game.
Thank you for your understanding!
There will be no school on Monday, September 7, 2026 in observance of Labor Day. Enjoy your long weekend!
It's almost time for Potters football. We would love for you to come support the team on Friday night at home. See you at Carper Field!
Short-Term Peace Can Create Long-Term Chaos
Care U is back for Season 5!
In this episode, we explore how trying to keep the peace in the moment can sometimes prevent children from building essential life skills. From rescuing children from discomfort to over-explaining during meltdowns, we reflect on how caregivers can create age-appropriate opportunities to develop patience, resilience, and healthy coping strategies. As always, the conversation invites caregivers to reflect on our practices and focus on the long game.
We hope you enjoy the episode.
