Corona-Virus and Grocery Stores Part 1
With the corona-virus growing on the media and spreading locally, panic has grown among citizens. These panics are causing people to quarantine themselves, or worry about what will happen if they were to have to quarantine themselves. Just in case people have to quarantine, they are preparing by buying canned foods, disinfecting wipes, and toilet paper, and stores are having a hard time keeping all of these supplies in stock. The stores are quickly running out of supplies and can make some pretty ridiculous sights. Upload your craziest pictures from the stores to our Google Form below.

There are many valuable skills to be learned when transitioning from the sheltered days of youth into the harsh reality that is the real world. Each skill is valuable in its own way. Budgeting will keep you sheltered, cooking will keep you fed, and taxes will keep you out of prison. There is, however, a life skill that is rarely discussed.

Twice as Nice photo by Abbigail Price Twice as Nice is a service organization that sponsors a prom resale program. Used prom dresses are sold to students at a discounted price. Their goal is to supply students with cheap prom dresses, in hopes that more students attend prom. Funds raised go towards Mooresville charities.  “As this is a nonprofit organization, it is really about providing students with the opportunity to attend prom versus raising funds,” Mrs. Jennifer Brunette said. Jennifer Brunette was twice as Nice’s old sponsor. Mrs. Lepore will be taking over this year. Dresses will go on sale Saturday, February 22 from 10 a.m. until 1 p.m. Dresses will cost $20.00. If a student returns the dress after prom, they get a $10.00 voucher for next year’s dress. Any MHS student is eligible to buy a dress.

what courses are available.  The school will be offering classes that will be taken at Ivy Tech Mooresville. Solar System
Astronomy as well as Stellar and Galactic Astronomy will be offered at Ivy Tech. These classes

own transportation to Ivy Tech and back to Mooresville for second through seventh period.  They are also offering Ivy Tech classes via distance learning. This means that the classes that
are offered will be taught at MHS but it will be taught over a screen.  “We are now offering statistics and calculus II via distance learning,” Mrs. Sarah Iams said.  Graduation pathways are now offered to students who didn’t pass ISTEP, or to freshmen who
don’t…
