What a Teacher Appreciation Week! The teachers at MMS would like to offer a big THANK YOU to Stephanie Thompson, Student Council and the MMS parents that offered appreciation last week.
The Parthenon is regarded as an enduring symbol of Ancient Greece, Athenian democracy and Western civilization, and one of the world's greatest cultural monuments.The majestic structure is known for its dignified white marble columns and perfect sense of proportion that held an enormous stone roof. The sixth graders worked to create a paper structure modeled after the Greek Parthenon. Students used a piece of paper and an arm’s length of tape to create their structure. Students were challenged to use their materials to build a structure that held 10 books at least four inches off the floor.

MMS flag raisers Mason Poitras and Bradyn Lavigne are dedicated 8th grade students who fly our colors every Thursday and Friday..no matter what the weather. When asked why they like raising the flag, Bradyn responded "I like to give back and I have pride in our country and think our flag represents that." Mason added "I feel being a flag raiser is a sign of respect to those who have served and inspires others to serve their county in a positive way. "
Here is a peek at how the 8 Osprey students are wrapping up their unit on the 1930s. Students chose one of four options to demonstrate their understanding of the decade: Choice 1: Create your own 1930s Comic Strip! Choice 2: Write your own 1930s movie script! Choice 3: Design a Great Depression “one pager” on a historical figure from the time period (FDR, Eleanor Roosevelt, John Steinbeck, etc.) Choice 4: Make a 1930s annotated timeline. Student work showed creativity, organization, and understanding of a complex time period in our history!
Each week Mrs. Lawson and Ms. Gilpatrick run an optional Social Studies class on Wednesday mornings at 8:30. For the past few weeks, more than 40 students have been using a digital pictionary-like game to test their mythology knowledge. While one student draws, the other students guess the god, goddess or mythical being pictured. Mrs. Lawson and Ms. Gilpatrick act as game show hosts as they tell stories and give additional clues about these mythical beings. Fun is had by all.
MMS recently hosted 6th grade students from RES (Rollinsford Elementary School). These students will be members of the MMS 7th grade class for 21-22, Class of 2027. Welcome!
"Guess That Baby" wall mural, designed and created by Mrs. Travers, decorates the eighth grade wing at MMS with baby photos of eighth grade students and staff. The display inspired by the children's game "GUESS WHO?"" enables pedestrians to guess who these babies are and then see how accurate they were by lifting the lower flap to reveal the name of the baby.
This is what a classroom looks like in 2021. Mr. Pratt has a student tuning in through the ipad while teaching a class of students.
