MASSABESIC CRAFT FAIR TODAY! Be sure to check out the MHS Spring Craft Fair - over 100 vendors are set up until 3:00 pm today on the high school campus!
During April Break, nine RSU 57 Transportation Department staff attended the Maine Association of Pupil Transport Conference, including Director of Transportation Richie Newton. Drivers, mechanics, and directors from throughout Maine discussed topics about maintaining a safe and respectful transportation environment for students and drivers; including complacency, health and wellness, and the error chain of effect. A driving skills competition was also held, and we are proud to announce that our very own mechanic Mark Bryant placed third, and will go on to the state championship! Mark has been with RSU 57 for one and a half years and we are so grateful to have him on our team!
High School May Menus.
The Transportation and Security Committee originally schedule for tonight, April 23 at 6pm, has been rescheduled to Thursday, April 25 at 6pm in the East Training Center. Thank you.
It is with great excitement and pride that we announce the recipients of the Model Mustang Staff Award for the month of April! This award is a tribute to those outstanding individuals who embody the qualities of a true “Model Mustang”; they inspire, lead, foster positivity, persevere, and excel in all that they do. Each Model Mustang was nominated by colleagues who took the time to acknowledge and celebrate their coworkers’ exceptional contributions to our district. Their hard work and commitment have not gone unnoticed, and we are grateful for the positive impact they have within RSU 57! This month's winner is Jackie Chaplin from Alfred Elementary!
"Jackie is a leader in our building through and through. She volunteers in a multitude of ways to support a variety of areas in our school. This includes direct instruction, individualized student support, community outreach, school-wide positive behavioral support implementation and "in the moment" help when needed. She always goes the extra mile, especially when she knows it will benefit our school community and is in the best interest of our kids. :) Thank you Jackie for all that you give, please know how appreciated you are!"

Last night, the RSU 57 School Board recognized several individual and group achievements of students across the district.
First was the MHS Theatre Troupe, which placed third at the Class A Regional One Act Festival in March. Students performed "Wild Strawberries"; a play which is rooted in physical comedy in the style of commedia dell'arte. Several awards were given to the Troupe, including several "All Cast" awards, commendations for costume design, and they received the ensemble award!
Next, MMS 8th Grader Julia Bryant was recognized for her achievement as York County's Spelling Bee Champ for the second year in a row! Julia proudly represented RSU 57 at the State Spelling Bee in March at Bowdoin College.
Finally, the MHS Jazz Band was recognized for their performance at the MMEA All State Music Festival. Many soloists received commendations, and the band received a silver rating!
Congratulations, all!
