Week of Monday, March 18 - Friday, MARCH 22, 2024
RSU 57 & Massabesic High School
"Preparing students for success in an ever-changing world."
Four weeks until April Break - but who's counting? (If you said "me" you are in good company as the stretch from Feb. Break to Apr. Break can be a long wait) We are moving into an important part of the school year as the desires of summer vacation draw nearer, our plans and preparation for the coming school year begin (course selection), and Seniors gear up for the final push toward graduation. Although the weather can be dreary, and the view outside may be somewhat brown at the moment, that will soon change as we move into the Spring season. I encourage you to get outside when you can and when it is dry. Finally, I have great confidence in your abilities to maintain a strong motivation to perform solidly in your courses. A few important reminders for this week:
COURSE SELECTION: School Guidance Counselors will visit English classes to start the course selection process THIS WEEK.
Wednesday March 20th is an Early Release Day - we have made adjustments to the Block 6 lunch line up (pictured below).
Our Annual Academic Showcase will take place on Wednesday, March 20 from 5:00-7:00 pm - we encourage all students and their families to join us for an open house format to experience all the learning that has been happening at MHS. (Flyer below)
Take care,
-Mr. Thurlow
