Christmas Holidays
December 21 - January 4, 2021

Teacher In-Service
January 5 & 6
Students Return
January 7
|
NOTE: Beginning after Christmas break, on January 7, 2020, MPHS will begin implementing an A/B schedule as well for face-to-face students. The school will contact parents and students before Christmas break with individual student schedules. By cutting the number of students by half each day, the school will be able to social distance much more effectively and greatly
reduce or alleviate exposures to positive cases.

Congratulations Katie Rowland
November Teacher of the Month
Srta Rowland grew up in Monroe County and went through all the Monroe County schools. Her parents are Eddie and Kathy Rowland. Her dad is a Monroe County Commissioner and her mom is a local real estate agent. She has one brother, Carson, who is a firefighter/EMT here in Monroe County. She and her boyfriend, Matt, have been dating for 3 years. Matt is also an MP graduate. He works in Atlanta as a project superintendent for a construction company. "Oh and I have a kitten named Gabi." She teaches Spanish and is in her 5th year of teaching at MP. When asked what her hobbies are, she replied "I have a painting business on the side where I do custom watercolor paintings of people's homes. Also I LOVE to design and decorate. Right now I'm helping my parents design their new store in town called the "Old Mill Market"." If she could go back in time, she "would travel back to when my parents were both in college at UGA together. I want to know what they like back then and see how they fell in love! And I wonder if we would have been friends???" When asked what she would do in her spare time if she did not have to sleep, she said "I would probably read more. There are so many good books I have on my list but haven't found the time to read them all." When people come to her for help, they are looking for assistance with designing and decorating. "I've made custom artwork, designed rooms, houses and even stores! They know it's a talent that I have and love." Who has influenced her life the most? "I have several people who have poured into my life and influenced who I am, but my parents are definitely the ones that have influenced me the most. I won the lottery by being born into my parents' love and care. They are ones who first taught me about Jesus, the blessing of family, and how to dream big and accomplish my goals. And they continue to guide me through life, always reminding me that their love and God's love for me is unconditional, just because I'm me, not because of anything I've done or ever will do." What keeps her up at night? "My cat... she can be really needy." Ms. Rowland loves to snowboard!

Mrs. Weems is married to her husband, Jimmy, and together they have 3 sons who all graduated from Mary Persons: Ryan, Gene, & Dylan. They also have 3 dogs: Millie, MoJo, & Hershel. She has been a secretary at MP for 13 years. What does she like most about her job? "I love interacting with the students & the parents on a daily basis, as well as our staff. Also I love the fact that I work in the best school system in the state." Her hobbies include reading, woodworking, and camping. If she could go back in time, what year would she travel to? "The year I graduated (not going to say what year) so that I could spend some more time with my grandmother before she passed away." If she didn't have to sleep, what would she do in her spare time? "I would finish all the projects that I started and haven't had time to complete." When people come to her for help, what do they usually want help with? "Usually people who come to me just want someone to listen to them and validate their feelings." She said that her grandmother influenced her life the most. "She was always so patient and kind and taught me to treat everyone the way I wanted to be treated."
What keeps her up at night? "Worrying about things that I have no control over."
