Minneha Introduces our New Mascot

After 15 years without a mascot Minneha began a mascot search.  Minneha had been the home of the Chiefs for many years but chose not to use the mascot after concerns were raised by Native Americans.  The mascot committee, led by Mr. Doornbus looked through our school archives to find a connection to Minneha's past with our new mascot.  In researching our past Mr. Doornbus found out that Minneha Junior High's mascot in the 1960's was the hawk.  The wings on our new Hawk replicate ones found in the archives.  The M on his chest iis the M used in the old cheerleader outfits.  The school Site Council narrowed the choices to two and all of the Minneha students voted for their preference.  We are proud to be the Minneha Hawks!

	What is Site Council?
	Site Council is an advisory group to the School.  It's membership consists of parents, community volunteers, and school personnel.  It's purpose is to be a sounding board for the Minneha community.  For example, in our Bond project the Site Council will advise the architects and offer suggestions.  The Site Council selects the school's Red Apple Award members.  It works actively on parent involvement policies and supports activities.  The Site Council selects what charity events the school will support. The Site Council is a valued part of the Minneha School Improvement efforts!
