October is National Bullying Prevention Awareness Month and we will be focusing on one of our core values: fairness. Fairness is impartial or just treatment and behavior without favoritism or discrimination. Choose each day to act in a way that is fair and kind for all.
Mrs. Wood is working with the MMS students to unlock their culinary potential with exciting cooking lessons! Take a look at the mouthwatering dishes these middle schoolers put together.

Maine State Representative Michele Meyer Visits Mr. Rowe's Seventh-Grade Social Studies
Class
On Friday, March 31, Maine State Representative Michele Meyer visited Mr. Rowe's seventh-grade social studies class. Connor O'Brien, a student in class, is working on a bill to make Maine's cars safer on the roads and for the environment, and he wanted to know more about the process so the class invited Representative Meyer to meet with the class. In a meeting that covered many topics, Representative Meyer told the students about the types of bills she looks for, how she decides whether or not to support a bill, exactly how busy her schedule is, what her committee work looks like, and many, many more topics, including how Connor should continue his work. The students were so appreciative of Michele Meyer's time, it was a great day!
