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.

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
JoyEllen Freeman Williams, Class of 2009, is currently the Special Collections and Rare Books Curator at Kennesaw State University. She's also a board member of the Society of American Archivists Foundation and a co-host of the Archives in Context podcast. After graduating from MHS in 2009, JoyEllen attended the University of Georgia and received a bachelor's degree in English. During her time at UGA, she was a participant in the Honors program and the Center for Undergraduate Research Opportunities. She served as a researcher, writer, and editor for the Civil Rights Digital Library and related initiatives. It was during this experience that JoyEllen fell in love with the archival profession. After graduating from UGA in 2012, she enjoyed internships at the National Archives at Atlanta, the Roswell Historical Society, the Flat Rock Archives, and the Archives Research Center at the AUC Woodruff Library. In 2016, JoyEllen received a master's degree in archival studies and became a certified archivist and landed a job as an archivist at Kennesaw State University. Some of the most exciting materials she's handled in her career as an archivist and curator include 4,000-year-old Sumerian clay tablets, a lunar Bible (yes, it went to the moon!), a manuscript leaf from the year 1240, photographs from Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.'s funeral, and first edition books signed by Langston Hughes, Toni Morrison and James Baldwin. JoyEllen also enjoys writing and book collecting. During her undergraduate career, she served as a poetry editor for a literary journal and later had one of her poems published. In 2013, she self-published a Christian children's book called Morning Glory that began as a writing assignment for MHS teacher Nancy Moeller's Children's Literature TAG seminar. In 2015, she received an honorable mention for a short story she wrote called Coco Mío, which was published by the Society of American Archivists. JoyEllen thoroughly enjoys collecting books, specifically historical fiction, African American fiction and poetry, and Amish novels. While at Milton, JoyEllen was a member of the National Honor Society, Multicultural Club, Spanish Club, and the Y-Club. When asked about some of her favorites at MHS, it's not surprising that she mentioned enjoying the wide array of books she read in AP English and her English and TAG teachers Nancy Moeller, Carroll Keen, Lisa Ethridge, and Naitnaphit Limlamai. "They were all brilliant women who challenged me and helped prepare me for my future career as a curator of rare books."

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.

William Swan won a Gold Award with one of the highest scores in the country. Vishaal Ram won a Silver Award, while Gabe Fontanez and Nicole Nelson won Bronze Awards.
