MP Teams continue to dominate the region. MP's Volleyball Team takes home their first Region Championship in the team's history. Coach Morrison shares, "For the first time in Mary Persons' history, the volleyball team is Region Champions! This is a direct result of countless hours of hard work, dedication, belief in each other, and plenty of laughs. I could not be more proud of these girls. I am also so thankful for all the parents, fans, and school community for the constant support!" Congratulations, ladies, on a job well done! CHAMPS!
Another big win for Mary Persons with Bulldog Softball taking home a Region Championship. Coach Kicklighter shares,"The Mary Persons Bulldogs' Softball coaches are excited for this team to be Region Champions. Since March, these players have been in the weight room, participating in hot summer practices, and getting acquainted with new coaches. Being Region Champions was a team goal from the beginning. To see this team accomplish this goal is rewarding and exhilarating for the program. We are so proud of all of their hard work and dedication to Mary Persons Bulldogs Softball and we are ready to keep this season going." Congratulations, ladies, on your big win! #CHAMPS

This week has been a powerful reminder of what it means to rise above challenges. Each of you has faced moments that tested your patience, focus, or determination, but what stands out is how you didn't let those obstacles hold you back. Instead, you leaned in, pushed through, and found a way to grow stronger on the other side. That's something to be proud of.
Maya Angelou once said, "You may encounter many defeats, but you must not be defeated." This week, you proved that truth. Defeats may come in the form of setbacks, tough assignments, or unexpected challenges, but you showed resilience. You proved the quote from last week and you came back stronger! You turned difficulties into opportunities to prove to yourself, and to others, that you are capable!
As we head into a new week, carry that mindset with you. Remember that each challenge is a chance to sharpen your skills, build confidence, and prepare for bigger victories ahead. You've shown that when obstacles appear, you don't stop, you rise. And that's exactly how you'll keep moving forward, one step stronger every time.
And due to our CHAMPS rising to the occasion, you have earned Athletic Wear for tomorrow. So that we can continue with this tradition, please ensure that you are following Athletic Wear guidelines in terms of shirt and short lengths. Have a great Friday, Bulldogs!

Challenges are a natural part of life, but how we respond to them defines who we become. Each obstacle is a chance to learn, to grow, to succeed, and to prove to yourself that you are stronger than the moment trying to hold you back.
Nelson Mandela once said, “The greatest glory in living lies not in never falling, but in rising every time we fall.” Remember, success isn’t about avoiding setbacks; it’s about standing back up and coming back stronger.
This week, we encountered some obstacles that were not handled with CHAMP-like behavior; therefore, we will not earn Athletic Wear tomorrow. It is important to note these setbacks do not define our future incentives. Instead, let’s use it as motivation to rise to the challenge, show our best effort, and prove what we can accomplish together next week.
Remember, if you face obstacles, lean on our CHAMP values: To be Courteous, Honorable, Accountable, Motivated, and Prepared. These principles will guide you through tough times and help you turn adversity into opportunity.
Although we did not earn Athletic Wear this week, tomorrow is a fresh chance to rise, refocus, and come back stronger for next week.

Volleyball had a great showing tonight on Senior Night! Go Dogs!
After being down 21-0 vs Troup County, MP cut the score to 28-21, Troup.
Congratulations on another great week! We did have a few close calls with behavior, but in the end, your CHAMP values-Being COURTEOUS, HONORABLE, ACCOUNTABLE, MOTIVATED, and PREPARED-prevailed and we overcame the obstacles. When we live by these principles, we stay on the right track and show what it truly means to be leaders in and out of the classroom.
