\u201cWe took 35 students to the regional competition and brought home 29 medals,\u201d said MPHS Art teacher Laura Kirkland. \u201cI am now Regional Director so my students and I, along with a handful of volunteers, were in charge of running the entire event. And they did an amazing job! I am blown away at how my students stepped up to help in areas I didn\u2019t even have to tell them. I am very proud of how our students did and how well they represented MPHS. Next time we will try to achieve all of us getting medals!\u201d<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
