MP Cheerdawgs showed up and showed out at state! Great performance, ladies!
We've seen so many of you giving your best effort in class, supporting others on the athletic fields and in the school, and showing true leadership and character. Your hard work, dedication, and positive attitudes make our school a better place every day, and we couldn't be prouder of the CHAMP behavior you are exhibiting.
As Thomas Edison once said, "Genius is one percent inspiration and ninety-nine percent perspiration." Every assignment you tackle, every question you ask, and every kind action you take adds up. Your consistent effort truly makes a difference in reaching your potential. Success is built one step at a time, and your consistent effort matters more than you may realize.
We also want to remind everyone about our cell phone policy. Staying focused in class is essential for your learning and helps us create an environment where everyone can succeed. As the policy states on pg. 41 of the Student Handbook:
"Cell phones, iPads, and laptops can be used under the instructional leadership of the teacher or during breakfast and lunch in the commons area or as specified by the school administration. All other electronic devices are prohibited. During state mandated testing, cellular phones and other electronic devices are not allowed in the testing location. The school is not responsible for stolen or lost cell phones."
We enforce this policy to ensure you're fully present and getting the most out of every lesson. Please be a CHAMP and house your phones in the designated location in class and ensure you are not using them during instructional time.
Keep up the great work, CHAMPs! You have earned athletic wear for this week, so remember to follow the athletic dress code guidelines.
Take a moment to celebrate this week's accomplishments, then come back ready to learn, grow, and succeed next week.

Another great performance from MP Drama this evening! 12 Angry Jurors via theatre-in-the-round.
Students,
We did not meet our goal this week to earn athletic wear. But remember, progress isn’t always a straight line, and sometimes the moments that teach us the most come from the goals we just miss. What matters most is the effort, the growth, and the lessons we take forward. Every challenge gives us a chance to regroup, refocus, and come back even stronger.
Let’s be proud of the hard work, the teamwork, and the perseverance that has gotten us this far. Goals aren’t finish lines; they’re stepping stones. And every step we take, even the tough ones, moves us closer to success.
We did not earn Athletic Wear this week, but like Winston Churchill once said: “Success is not final, failure is not fatal: it is the courage to continue that counts.” Keep your heads up, CHAMPs, we can bounce back and earn it next week.

Spanish Honor Society visits TG Scott kindergarten classes to teach Spanish mini-lessons on Monday, October 27!
What a week, Bulldogs! From start to finish, you’ve given MP so much to celebrate. Whether it was showing up every day ready to learn, leadership shown in activities and class, participating in club pictures and our district ELEOT visit like CHAMPs, or impressive teamwork on the field and stage, you continue to represent Mary Persons with pride and excellence.
We saw students making All Region/Area teams, winning awards for performances on the field and stage, and taking home Region titles. These accomplishments don’t just happen by chance, they come from your effort, your focus, and your willingness to grow. Every time you give your best, you’re building habits that lead to lifelong success.
For a job well done, you all have earned athletic wear for Friday, October 31st. But please remember, this does not include costumes and you must follow the athletic dress code.
As we close out this week, remember these words from Coach John Wooden:
“Success comes from knowing that you did your best to become the best that you are capable of becoming.”
Make sure to support our MP Bulldogs as they take on Whitewater tomorrow night at Dan Pitts, the Game Day and Competition Cheerleaders at Eagles Landing and McIntosh on Saturday, and our Cross-Country team as they head into Sectionals in Ludowici on Friday and Saturday.
Keep giving your best and being CHAMPs in all that you do. Enjoy the weekend and come back ready to make next week another great one at Mary Persons!

CHAMPs, it's been a pretty good week. Many of you made very strong choicesthat truly showed what it means to be leaders in our school. You faced challenges, and even when some situations could have led you down the wrong path, you stopped, thought, and chose what was right, and that is something to be proud of.
“Character is doing the right thing when nobody's looking.” — J.C. Watts
This week,overall, our CHAMP character shined and even though we could have had some situations turn negative, there were some individuals who chose to rise above, walk away, and take the higher road. All MP students have earned athletic wear for tomorrow, so enjoy your incentive!
Keep striving, keep growing, and keep showing the world the best version of yourselves. The choices you make today build the future you want tomorrow. Keep it up, you are capable of incredible things!

This week has been one filled with spirit, tradition, and the kind of memories that make high school unforgettable! Each dress-up day, pep rally, and game brings us together as one school family, reminding us how much pride and heart our students bring to everything they do.
Homecoming isn’t just about the big game or the dance, it’s about celebrating who we are. It’s about friendships, laughter, community, and showing that MP spirit in everything from the hallways to the Friday Night Lights. Whether you’re performing, competing, cheering, or just soaking it all in, take a moment to enjoy it. These are the moments that define your high school story.
We hope to see everyone at the Homecoming game tomorrow night as we crown our Homecoming royalty, cheer on our Bulldogs as they take on Spalding, and dance and cheer along with our amazing band and cheerleaders. Let’s fill the stands with spirit and support!
I hope this week continues to be one to remember because you are what makes Mary Persons so special. And when you wear your class colors tomorrow, make sure you remember your athletic wear because you earned it! Make sure that shirt and short lengths are within athletic dress code.
