April 2nd, 2023

It feels good to change the date of the newsletter to April! March is the longest calendar month of any school year, but it certainly ended on a high note with a great turnout for our Mr. Mansfield event on Friday night. Thank you to all who participated and attended the event!

Our senior mailing will be going out this week, and we will send out a digital version through email to all senior families as well. Our "senior corner" has the dates and times of the major events below, and there are also a couple of updates from our senior parent group regarding volunteers and lawn signs, so be sure to check it out.

Check out the other updates below, including our Quiz Show Team's next televised match. I hope everyone continues to enjoy the extended daylight hours and the increased temperatures (at least in the sun with no wind)!

We are excited to announce the finalized list of Senior Week activities. Below you will find the dates and times of each activity. Senior families will receive a senior week mailing this week with details of each event, and digital versions of the senior events letter and senior calendar will be available in future newsletters once the initial mailing goes out.

Mansfield Choir is raising funds to lower field trip costs. HundredX Causes is a way for people to give without spending to a cause they care about - just by sharing their opinions. Members of the choir have attended the Tri-County Choral Festival, sang at the Providence Bruins and have organized a number of opportunities for singers in grades 4-12! As we grow we hope to offer more but we need your help!

Here’s how it works: This month, each time you share a quality brand opinion with HundredX, up to $2 goes towards fundraising for choir programming. You can personally create up to $150 of value (75 opinions).

Please click HERE or text “VOICE” to 90412 to sign up and learn more about the program.
