Friday night's 

2nd Round Playoff Game.

Meet Ellen Criswell.  She is married to Lee, and they have two daughters, Alayna (12th grade) and Emilee (8th grade). Mrs. Criswell is an instructional paraprofessional with our Access program, and has worked at MP for 8 years. When asked what she likes most about her job, she said "My students bring so much joy and laughter to my life, and my coworkers are like family." She enjoys decorating and making crafts. She also enjoys swimming and playing with her little dog, Ellie. If she could go back in time she would like to go back to the 1900s "because things were so much simpler then and I love old farm houses from that era." If she did not have to sleep, she would use the extra time to travel and craft.  When people come to her for help, they usually come for family and relationship advice. "My relationship with Jesus and my grandmother have influenced my life the most." She said that nothing keeps her up at night because she has to have her sleep. She has a degree in nursing, and her first passion was working with the elderly. She took this job because she wanted to be with her daughters more, and "in doing that I found my second passion, working with students with disabilities. I truly love what I get to do everyday!

The FAFSA® is the application that students must complete to apply for federal student aid, which can be used to attend an eligible college or career school. Federal student aid includes Federal Pell Grants, federal student loans, and work-study opportunities. In addition to determining eligibility for federal student aid, many states, private organizations, colleges, and career schools rely on information from the FAFSA to determine eligibility for nonfederal sources of aid. 

ALL students must complete this form regardless of parent income.  The 2018 FAFSA application is now open.  

The Art Club is hosting the 3rd annual Empty Bowls Dinner fundraiser on  Thursday, November 16th from 5:30-7:30  in the Fine Arts Center.  Tickets are $15, and go on sale Monday, October 30th.

On Thursday, November 9th 15 Best Buddies members volunteered at the Anchor of Hope 10th Anniversary Gala at New Providence Baptist Church. They helped to set up, served dinner, and cleaned up. These students represented MP extremely well! Thank you for serving.
