Branagan's Bulletin
Week of December 2 - 6, 2019
Hello Sachems! Welcome Back!
I hope all of you had an amazing holiday and weekend! I think Thanksgiving allows for each of us to appreciate the people in our lives who make a difference! Thank you for making a difference in mine! Last week was an outstanding representation of what Sachem Pride really is, and I thank each of you for being a part of that commitment to make our school incredible. Clearly, for many of us…we truly made our school “home” last week with the many events to celebrate Spirit Week! The spirit continued as the Sachems brought the Thanksgiving Game Trophy back to Middleborough with a great win over Carver. We have a very busy week ahead…so, here we go!
A special note of thanks and appreciation...
- To the Student Council for an outstanding Spirit Week! Every aspect of the events that you planned was flawless! A special note to the juniors and seniors who participated in the Powder Puff Game last Monday for an outstanding commitment to making that event what it should be…fun! It was a great night of celebration at Battis Field!
- Thank you to our Football Team, Cheerleaders, and Band for an outstanding Thanksgiving Day Game at Carver High School. Although, it was cold a bit rainy…the pride of the Black and Orange was clearly evident on Thursday at Battis Field. Additionally, the community photo during half-time was just awesome. Thank you for a great day!
- Thank you to Erin Graham, Nick Mello, Alex King and Kyley Kruger for running the pep rally on Tuesday! It was great time. Also, special congratulations to Carissa Chane and Connor Perry for being named the 2019 Spirit King and Queen! They truly represent the best of Sachem Spirit!
- Congratulations to the Class of 2020 for winning the 2019 Spirit Banner competition!
- Congratulations to the Class of 2021 for winning the Gym Decorating competition! Great work!
- Congratulations to the Class of 2021 for winning the Powder Puff Game in an exciting ending.
- Congratulations to the MHS Football Team for an outstanding game on Thanksgiving! The 33-7 final score against Carver was a perfect way to end a great season! The senior members of the team were absolutely outstanding examples of leaders in our school. It has been a true honor to work with you over the last four years!
- Thank you to the MHS Band and Majorettes for their participation in the annual Christmas Parade on Saturday. Also, a note to appreciation to everyone in our school community who was a part of that event on Saturday.
