EMOTIONAL PROBLEM SOLVING
Skills Training for Emotional Problem Solving for Teens.
Mindfulness and Emotion Regulation Skills In Schools - A pilot, 8 session student group
This 8 session small group aims to give students greater emotional regulation skills and decision making strategies that focus on emotional distress that adolescents are likely to face. The curriculum is designed to use evidence based skills to help reduce emotional dysregulated behavior.
The curriculum is written as a Social Emotional Learning program to be delivered across the general student body population as a method to help teens make better decisions when experiencing difficult and emotional situations.
The short term goal of the group is to provide a structured format to learn new skills in a non-judgmental environment and apply those skills to their own personal situations. The long term goal is to practice the skills so that they become automatic and can be effectively used in different environments.
The 8 week plan is introductory in nature with a focus on a two basic areas; Mindfulness (1-4) and Emotion Regulation (5-8).
The calendar (dates and times) is currently TBD as we are gather interest. Ideally, the pilot group would have about 8 participants. This group has the potential to meet in person or remotely, so all students are eligible. If you are interested in having your student participate in this group, please complete this interest form.
This group will be led by our School Social Worker, Mr. Patrick Hartigan MSW.

100th ANNIVERSARY ART CHALLENGE
MHS 100th Anniversary February's activity is an Art Challenge. We're hoping to get 100 pieces of art inspired by our love and memories of MHS! We're calling on current students, faculty, alumni, and former faculty to submit pieces that may be chosen for display around our building and at an art show during our 100th anniversary weekend coming up in the Fall of 2021. Also, one piece of art will be selected for the cover of an Appen Media magazine that will be published in the Fall and entirely devoted to the MHS 100th anniversary.
MEMORY JUG
As part of our anniversary Art Challenge, a memory jug is being created for MHS by alum Pam Martin Shiftic. We need small items--mementos, trinkets, pins, etc.--that can represent you on the jug as a Milton alumni or current student. This can't happen if you don't donate something! Names, graduation year, and a list of donated items will be displayed along with the finished jug. Click the link for specific details and instructions:

MHS 100th ANNIVERSARY: ALUMNI FEATURE
Bobby Scales II: Mr. Scales is a 1995 graduate of Milton High School. He earned 6 varsity letters at Milton--two each in football, basketball, and baseball. He was a true three sport athlete, serving as captain of both the varsity basketball and baseball teams his senior year. After Milton, Bobby walked on at the University of Michigan as a baseball player and earned a scholarship through his hard work and successful play. He was a four-year letterman at Michigan, graduating in 1999. After playing at Michigan, Bobby was drafted into the MLB in 1999 by the San Diego Padres and played professional baseball for the next 14 years. After playing 10 full seasons in the minors, his hard work and dedication to his craft finally paid off when he made his major league debut with the Chicago Cubs on May 5th, 2009. Bobby finished his playing career in 2012 after playing two years in the Nippon Professional Baseball League. He was then appointed Director of Player Development with the LA Angels in 2012 and promoted to Special Assistant to the GM with the Angels in 2015. In 2018 Bobby joined the Pittsburgh Pirates as Minor League Field Coordinator and in 2021 is currently serving as the Coordinator of Strategic Insights for Player Development with the Pirates. As an indication of Bobby's enduring connection to Milton, during the off seasons while in the minor league, Bobby spent time substituting at Milton High School and working with Milton area youth baseball players. "Most people are kind of lukewarm about their old high school....not me. Milton High was the launching pad for many of the awesome experiences I've had. I love that place!"

COVID REPORTING PORTAL
As students in Fulton County Schools (FCS) have begun returning to face-to-face instruction, a number of changes were implemented to ensure the health and safety of students, staff, and visitors. Among the most vital of these changes is the development and introduction of a new electronic FCS COVID-19 Reporting Portal for parents (and students). This electronic reporting process will allow for a more direct reaction from primarily the Fulton County Board of Health (FCBOH) with support from FCS to promptly respond and address student/family cases of COVID-19.
