Halloween Carnival 2022 was a huge success! An amazing 1,153 of you joined us at MMS for the festivities. Tremendous thanks go to Cyrena Nielsen and Bailey Daigle, MMS Drama Directors, for their vision and creativity in creating the event and the days spent seeing it through.
Thank you to our MMS Drama Club student actors, our MHS Drama volunteers, our dozens of parent and staff volunteers, RSU 57 facilities and support staff, and everyone who, with their time or donation, made this event possible.
Our platform has a 4-photo limit, so we'll be sharing a series of photo posts from the event!
Friday was Mix It Up Day at MMS! From mismatched clothes for Spirit Week to welcome tunnels and music upon arrival at school; a “mix it up” advisory lesson to “mixed up” seats by birth month at lunches today—it was a fun way to practice empathy and acceptance. Staff ate and joined in as the tables chatted about their answers to ice breaker questions and Mrs. Tremblay emceed the lunches. A fun Friday indeed!
Our thanks to MMS School Counselors Jenn Landez, Julie Pagano, and Jess Tremblay, as well as all of our student ambassadors for organizing the day!
A huge thank you to the MMS community for a wonderful first dance! We estimate almost 450 middle schoolers danced and snacked away the afternoon together.
Thank you to our 25+ staff chaperones; the Bryant family and friends for coordinating, baking and selling concessions; MMS parent Jon Campbell for the professional deejay treatment; Cyrena Nielsen for the decorations; and of course, our parents for the support. What a fun day!
4 days until the Halloween Carnival at MMS! It's a free, family event for kids of all ages. Children must be accompanied by an adult to attend, so we hope to see the whole family.
Maine’s Student Mock Election is democracy in action at MMS today. Thank you to our student poll volunteers and to Ms. Lucas for organizing this fun event.

MMS Drama Club has plenty of Tricks up their sleeve for the Family Halloween Carnival on the 29th...and hopefully lots of treats too! We're buying a whole bunch of treats but we're also seeking donations of bags of unopened Halloween candy. Want to volunteer? We'd love that too!

Thank you to health teacher Mrs. Mariello and to our Waterboro partners for a memorable learning experience!

The National Guard provides these jerseys weekly to schools in Maine, free of charge, as a part of their efforts to recognize and honor our service members past and present. As a part of this evening's events we will be doing a collection in support of the Wounded Warrior Project.
