This week saw many of our teams and extra-curricular activities compete in various places. Our boy's hockey and girl's basketball teams played this week. Although they came up short in their games, there is a lot to be proud of this season. Both teams competed hard all season and making the state tournament in any sport is always a great accomplishment. Although the girls lost, the game marked a special accomplishment for senior Abby Wager who scored her 1,000th point in her last game as a hornet. The boy's basketball team won their game on Friday night and they will play at home this Tuesday, 3/7 at 6:30pm.

A group of our drama students also competed in METG One-Act Play Festival this past weekend. The group put on "Do Not Go Gentle" which they previously performed on Wednesday night in the MHS auditorium. While the group did not move forward, we are incredibly proud of this group. Our production was the only student-directed performance at the festival, competing against adults and adult-directed performances. Bravo to our MHS students for their hard work.

We have two early release days this week for staff PD work and parent conferences. Please note the dates for these early releases are Wednesday, March 8th, and Thursday, March 9th. Lunch will be served on both days.

Senior parents will also notice a section of the newsletter "Senior Corner" moving forward. This section will contain information related to senior events as we get closer to graduation season. We will also email some information to be sure everyone has access to the information.

As a reminder, all conferences are scheduled to be in-person meetings and are limited to 5 minutes to allow for as many families to attend as possible.

This section will appear weekly through the end of the school year for all things Senior Event related:

We are excited to announce we now have a graduation date set for Sunday, June 4th at the Xfinity Center. We have also confirmed the time of the ceremony to begin at 1:00pm.

The next MHS SENIOR CELEBRATION PARENT PLANNING MEETING IS 3/6 at 6:30 PM IN THE MHS LIBRARY. Please join us!
