The boys’ team fought a formidable Brenham squad, but in the end the Bears defeated the Cubs by a score of 6-4.  The girls had an easier time with the Cubs, sweeping all 4 singles matches and by defeating the Cubs by a score of 7-3.  The final match tournament of the year will be held next Tuesday, May 14, at home vs. Waller Schultz when the District Championship will be decided. Good luck to our MJH Tennis teams!

Summer Camps

During Fashion Camp, students explore the world of fashion by participating in numerous activities that enhance their individual style and sense of creativity.  Fashion Camp 2013 is a great opportunity for students with any interest in fashion, pop culture, and art.  After a week full of fashion design activities, the students will present their skills through a fashion show followed by a reception for their friends and family on Friday the 28th  at 12:30pm . The age group for fashion camp is 10-18 years old.  Cost is $475 per person before May 15th  and $575 after May 15th . The cost includes meals, room and board, all supplies, and a camp T-shirt.
