News from the MMS Chorus Program
Friday, April 26th Marshwood Middle School their our core value celebration assembly. The core value for April was characteristics of a learner. Each morning Mrs. Goulet reminds the school the aspects of characteristics of a learner. She shares that they are leaders in their own learning, engage with the world around them, think for themselves, are driven by their interests, push through challenges, are determined to succeed, have inner motivation and self discipline, exercise their minds, cultivate good habits, know how and when to ask for help, are willing to take risks, fail, and learn from their mistakes.
Each team in the school selects students that exemplify characteristics of a learner. The following students were celebrated: Autumn Baldwin, Liji Sawka, Caitlyn Long, Esme Casey, Logan Fletcher, May Woods, Addison Rothwell, Ryen McDaniel, and Mac Edson. Families of each student were invited to the assembly.
Our final core value for the year is respect! Staff at MMS are on the look out for students that are showing politeness, valuing others feelings or views even if you don’t necessarily agree with them. We are all looking forward to our last core value celebration!
The study of Earth and Space invites big questions and is one of the highlights of middle school science. But getting to experience a celestial event, even if it's only a partial solar eclipse, engages students on a whole different level!
At MMS, more than 150 students went to the school's back parking lot to watch the the eclipse. The students were all handed ISO certified glasses, safe for viewing the eclipse.
Track and Field and Softball are the only school sports having practice today. All other sports are cancelled today, 4/3 as well as tomorrow 4/4.

Marshwood Volleyball coming to MMS
On Friday March 1st, the 7th grade had the first dance of the year. It was a whirlwind of excitement and laughter, creating memories that will last a lifetime. From the moment the music started, the cafeteria transformed into a busy dance floor, pulsating with energy and rhythm. Students showcased their best moves, from classic dance steps to spontaneous freestyle bursts. Students in the gym were able to shoot hoops and get their energy out by running around. One of the 8th grade science labs was set up as a game room. It was a night full of fun! Now the other grades are anxiously awaiting their upcoming dances.
Marshwood Middle School would like to send out a great big THANK YOU to our school resource officer for National School Resource Officer day! We heart you Officer Mazur!
We are excited to announce that the 7th grade dance has been scheduled! All 7th graders are invited. No admission fee.

Students sat engaged in beautiful picture books, interesting short stories, repulsed by Grimm versions of fairy tales and on the edge of their seats for some scary tales.
