Week of Monday, March 25 - Friday, MARCH 29, 2024
RSU 57 & Massabesic High School
"Preparing students for success in an ever-changing world."
It seems like Mother Nature is not quite done throwing us a few curve balls - it is still March after all, and we live in Maine, so should snow be that much of a surprise?!?! Perhaps not!
Our Annual Academic Showcase this past Wednesday was a massive success thanks to strong attendance and exciting displays. We very much enjoyed playing host to hundreds of members of our MHS community with many different types of learning from our school year presented throughout the building. Please check out some photos from the event posted below.
The Class of 2025 is sponsoring a Dodgeball Tournament this coming week as a part of MHS March Madness - more than a dozen teams have signed up and we are looking forward to some wonderful competition throughout the week. 'The Finals' will take place on Friday once the field is narrowed to the final 2 teams. I have entered a team of staff into the mix and we hope to get out of this week mostly uninjured and with some of our pride still intact - fingers crossed that our much younger, faster, and more flexible students take it easy on us (although not likely). Pictures of the MHS March Madness Dodgeball Tournament will be included in next week's newsletter. Thank you to the Class of 2025 for sponsoring this fun and exciting opportunity.
Also included in this newsletter is a slideshow presentation containing information regarding 2024-2025 Block Scheduling at MHS (see below).
Finally, it's budget season in RSU 57 and our first Budget Review Session will take place on Monday in the MHS auditorium (see flyer below).
Take care,
-Mr. Thurlow
