Student Bulletin Friday, September 27 Day 6
Congratulations to our MHS September Student of the Month Erlin Bell!! Erlin demonstrates uncommon character and maturity in the classroom and on the athletic field. He is a terrific, highly intelligent student who is helpful to his classmates as well as his competitors in cross country. Erlin came to the aid of a runner from another school who was in distress at last Saturday’s meet. He is a remarkable young man.
