Mrs. Harbourn would like to extend a big THANK YOU to the Manito-Forest City Rotary Club from the MCHS Raider Family!
We approached the Rotary board with a proposal that was met with great support: financially and mentally. Our goal is to further aid students in overcoming obstacles when obtaining and sustaining employment in the surrounding area. Mrs. Harbourn has worked with Country General to create a gas incentive to eligible students, starting in the spring of 2023. There are guidelines that students must meet, but we are beyond thrilled to see this program come to life. Our goal is to equip our students with the skills necessary to be successful adults; so with the design of this program, we can eliminate financial obstacles for students who are struggling to travel to their employment.
Thank you again Manito-Forest City Rotary Club for your continued support of our MCHS students. If you have questions or concerns, please contact Mrs. Harbourn.
