Principal’s Pen: February 28-March 4
Hello Everyone:
I hope everyone is outside today enjoying this beautiful weather. As you know when we return to school on Monday masks will be optional. Because of the uncertainty of what this will look like and the anxiety some will be experiencing we encourage those who wish to continue wearing their masks to please do so. Masks will still need to be worn on the buses and for the time being those students who attend MMTC will need to follow what their mask protocol is.
Prior to vacation we recognized our February students of the month, our Eagle Excellence recipient, and our MMTC students who competed and earned medals in the local skills competition. Congratulations to all!

Our school counselors are inputting the course requests for the 2022-2023 school year. If the counselors have not received the registration form from your daughter/son they will be selecting courses for the students. It might be helpful if you check with your student to make sure that they turned their form in.
Beginning March 7th we will be offering the following enrichment activities after school: Sewing, Cooking, Hiking, Art Club, Yarn Club, Coding. Later on down the road we will be adding drama and photography. Anyone is welcome to join in. All sessions will run one night a week for four weeks. Sign-up sheets are located outside the cafeteria.
The All Sports Boosters is once again selling the personalized bricks that are placed around the snack shake. Please find the link to this fundraising effort attached: https://www.fundraisingbrick.com/online-orders/messalonskee/
And finally, the Junior Class Auction will be held Saturday, March 12th at 6:00 pm. If you haven’t already purchased a ticket to attend this event you can buy one from a member of the junior class or at the door. I have also attached an order form from which you can purchase tickets. Parent Contribution Form_Class of 2023 Auction. This auction is one of the major fundraisers for the class and all money collected will go towards their project graduation activities as well as graduation events. We hope to see you at 6:00 pm on March 12th at MHS.
Enjoy the week
