More Senior Power...Not To Brag, But....

Seniors at MLC are required to design and complete senior projects in order to graduate. These projects can vary widely, from choreographing a dance piece, to writing a blog like this one, to volunteering at an organization. It has to benefit the community in some way. Seniors write proposals which are reviewed by a panel of staff members and are approved or tweaked until they are satisfactory. We fill out time sheets, and at the end of our projects, write a three page reflective essay. Here's a few examples of what seniors are doing this year:

• Choreographing and directing an original dance composition
• Casting and directing plays
• Writing a blog that explores a social issue
• Writing and creating a graphic novel
• Holding a secondhand clothing sale as a fundraiser for Loaves & Fishes
• Taking a solo backpacking trip through the Oregon countryside
• Drafting and creating a costume for a fellow student in one of the high school plays
• Designing, producing, and selling event teachers to raise money for the school
• Teaching art classes to younger students
• Raising money to pay for wells in Bangladesh
