"Preparing students for success in an ever-changing world."
As we begin this week-long break from school I want to thank you for an enjoyable Spirit Week at MHS with some unique events and opportunities. Our Student Council did a great job organizing a drive to support our Community Closet - a special thank you to all students and staff who supported this drive. Your efforts will help students and families in our community who may need extra support from time to time.
I very much appreciate your interactions with our guest speaker, Superintendent Polansky, this past Wednesday during our assemblies. Superintendent Polansky remarked that he very much enjoyed your energy and participation. I hope you were able to take some inspiration and motivation from his messages. Remember to ask yourself - "Is it Kind? Is it Honest? Will it Improve the Situation?
A special thank you to Mrs. Goulet, Mr. Nadeau, and a shoutout to the entire Student Council crew for sponsoring our rockin' Pep Rally on Friday afternoon!
I hope your time away is enjoyable and safe. MHS is closed on Monday, February 19, but our main office will be open Tuesday, February 20 - Friday, February 23.
Take care,
-Mr. Thurlow

MHS Jazz Band Qualifying for States!
On Thursday, February 15th at the Regional Festival held at Kennebunk High School, and under the direction of Mr. Drew Halpin-Desmarais, the MHS Jazz Band received an overall score of 83 to advance to the State Festival. (A minimum score of 75 is needed to secure a spot in the state competition). This accomplishment is particularly impressive because our dedicated musicians learned several new components to their performance in less than one month - their hard work ultimately paid off with the upcoming trip to states! Congratulations to Mr. H-D and the MHS Jazz Ensemble!
