for mass distribution of our materials is to use carrier route presort. However, school district boundaries and postal carrier routes don’t always coincide. Therefore, everyone who resides
in a postal route, that contains even a portion of the MCHS district, will receive the mailing. Even though you may not reside in our district, we hope you enjoy reading about the exciting
