Interact Club beat out the rest of the competition last night and won first place in the skit competition at the River Bend Food Bank (with a parody of "Part of Your World" from The Little Mermaid). Thanks to their creative efforts, Hy-Vee will be donating an extra 2,000 lbs of food to Moline High School to give us a head start in collecting the most donations for the Student Hunger Drive!

On March 14th students from MHS went on a field trip to the Chicago Shakespeare Theater at Navy Pier. A group of nearly 50 Honors English 1 and theater students traveled to the city to see a professional and contemporary performance of Romeo and Juliet. It was a wonderful experience, and it will be a day to remember for years to come!
