We Are Mahoney
We are all in this together - and that's a very good thing! Mahoney is a place of kindness and respect; a place where everyone looks out for everyone else; a place where everyone matters. For a little while, we won't be able to live and learn that way face-to-face in our fabulous 98 year-old building. But we are still Mahoney and that means we are still ONE. And we are still going to help each other learn and grow and enjoy life. Don't waste this chance to be part of the innovators who are determined to find great opportunity in a time of challenge.
Teachers are posting announcements and learning activities for all Mahoney classes. There's so much you can do to use this time well, and your teachers are using their skills to make that happen with you. Set up a learning center in your house were you can "do school" each day and make a plan to join in online.
