March Menus!







MMS celebrated (with silliness and fun!) the end of last week's YCSP food drive. We are excited to announce that we collected a grand total of 6,870 items! Incredible!
We could not have done this without the generous support of our community. Our wholehearted thanks go to our MMS families, the Waterboro Eagles, and Hannaford for their contributions. Our thanks also to Mrs. Miller and our Student Council for coordinating the event.
Zoom in to see 40+ staff members covered in Silly String and whipped cream!




The Unified Basketball Team will host Sanford in it's home opener tomorrow at 3:30pm! Please come out and support our unified Basketball Team and Coach Fournier and Soldati!

Congratulations to our MMS 7th graders on a fantastic NASA Innovations showcase today. The hundreds of visitors were impressed by your creative designs and prototypes, thoughtful presentations, and hard work.
A very special thank you to Mrs. Turner, Ms. Carnell, and Ms. Dodge who made it all happen!





It's National School Counseling Week and MMS wants to honor and thank our incredible School Counselors, Mrs. Tremblay, Mrs. Landez, and Mrs. Pagano. Their work supports and advocates for our students; furthers our mission; and frankly, brings a whole lot of fun!
Case in point: this morning's Advisory lesson, designed by our Counseling team, focused on creative and practical problem solving, cooperation, and teamwork with a rousing game of Ships & Sailors—much like "Simon Says" but with more way more mermaids, pirates, running, laughter and play! What a fun way to start the day!




Congratulations to MMS 7th grader Julia Bryant, the York County Spelling Bee Co-Champion! Julia and her co-champion, Dylan Bandara of Saco Middle, were declared co-champs after an impressive THIRTY rounds of spelling. They will next represent our county at the Maine State Bee at Bowdoin College on March 25th.


Join us in the annual MMS Food Drive to benefit the York County Shelter and Pantry, February 1st- 10th!

There are after school activities today. There will be no late bus. If students can arrange for a ride home they can stay for activities or practice. If students do not have transportation home after practice then they should go home. Coaches are aware and students who need the late bus to get home would be excused from practice.
Our swim practice at the Sanford YMCA is on. Our MS games with Kittery are on as well.
Thank you

MMS dominates this week's Top 10 earners in the Maine Stock Market Game! 295 middle school teams across the state compete and play the "money" market, so need a tip? Call one of these MMS Mustangs. (Kidding!)


Thank you to Ruth's Reusable Resources for featuring our 7th grade wind turbine project in their member-wide newsletter!
MMS 7th grade science teachers, Michelle Turner, Emily Dodge, and Liz Carnell, went on a "Ruth's field trip" for donated materials one afternoon and returned with a haul. All of our students participated in the wind turbine project—it was amazing design and engineering in action! (More projects to come, too!)


Activity busses for MMS and MHS are cancelled for today. There will be no practices for MMS. MHS sports related trips are still going today. Practices at MHS are on but will be optional due to transportation needs. Thank you.

MMS Student Council collected linens, blankets, and pillows for York County Shelter Programs. YCSP identified the items as an immediate holiday need. Our thanks to our school community for their generous support!


MMS Student Council is collecting new twin-sized linens for the York County Shelter before the holidays. Boxes for donations are located in front of the MMS library until Dec 22nd. Thank you for compassion and generosity for our community!
