Massabesic High School

Massabesic High School's NJROTC program toured Maine Maritime Academy earlier this month. Cadets participated in hands-on activities aboard the 61-foot, 102 year old, wooden hulled schooner Bowdoin. They also learned about celestial navigation in MMA's planetarium and explored wet and diesel engine practical laboratories. Additionally, on September 27, NJROTC provided Color Guard and Honor Guard to Army Sergeant Victor Acox, who will celebrate his 99th birthday next month. Cadets were asked to sign a commemorative flag along with combat veterans and supporters who were present. MHS Seniors Bryce and Brayden Emerson, Sophomore Dan Harriman and Freshman Grace Shipman volunteered for this event. You can support our cadets and NJROTC program by attending any of the upcoming events below: October 6: Color Guard for Massabesic Football - Homecoming Games October 7: Color Guard for Grand Parade at Fryeburg Fair October 14: Color Guard at Navy League in Brunswick, ME October 14: NJROTC Competition at Dover High School, NH October 28: NJROTC Drill Competition at Oxford High School, MA

CONGRATULATIONS TO THREE OUTSTANDING MHS STUDENTS! Hunter Van Brocklin (12) has been chosen by Maine Educators of Gifted and Talented (MEGAT) as the winner of the statewide student "Passionate Changemaker Award".

Due to the extended time that it takes Pre-K and Kindergarten students in learning their dismissal procedures (in the early going of the school year) we are going to dismiss from Block 6 ten minutes earlier (1:39 pm) TODAY (Tuesday) and TOMORROW (Wednesday). This will allow additional time for the elementary school bus runs to load during their dismissals for our youngest learners. 1. We will make an announcement for dismissal at or around 1:39 for the FIRST WAVE (as soon as buses arrive from the middle school). 2. We will announce the dismissal for the SECOND WAVE as soon as buses are in place. 3. Walkers, drivers, and parent pick-ups will be allowed to leave at the announcement of the FIRST WAVE dismissal. Reminder, this is for TODAY and TOMORROW only. I apologize for announcing this late in the game, so to speak. Picture day, in all its glory, has gotten the best of me.  -Mr. Thurlow
