Lyman Elementary: Mrs. McKinley’s Third Grade class had a visit from Deputy Pellerin this week! This is the second time the class has had a chance to meet and interact with him. It was a great opportunity to foster a positive relationship with our new SRO! The students had lots of questions and loved seeing the cruiser up and close!

It is with great excitement and pride that we announce the recipients of the Model Mustang Staff Award for the month of February! This award is a tribute to those outstanding individuals who embody the qualities of a true “Model Mustang”; they inspire, lead, foster positivity, persevere, and excel in all that they do. Each Model Mustang was nominated by colleagues who took the time to acknowledge and celebrate their coworkers’ exceptional contributions to our district. Their hard work and commitment have not gone unnoticed, and we are grateful for the positive impact they have within RSU 57! Click the link to view February's Model Mustang Award recipients.

Massabesic High School Students are gearing up for the SeaPerch Challenge with the invaluable support of Portsmouth Naval Shipyard. Generously providing kits with materials, tools, and instruction booklets, as well as volunteer guidance, Portsmouth Naval Shipyard has empowered 24 students on 7 teams, to construct their own Remote Operated Vehicles (ROVs). Scott Swett, a technical education teacher at MHS, highlighted the unique hands-on experience that challenges students to build ROVs from scratch, fostering skills like soldering, drilling, measuring, and troubleshooting. These students will soon put their creations to the test, and one outstanding team will represent Massabesic High School at the 2024 Seacoast SeaPerch Challenge on April 5 at the University of New Hampshire. The challenge includes navigating obstacle courses, executing recovery missions, and presenting technical reports; providing students with a platform to practice deep thinking and problem-solving skills. NJROTC instructor Captain Douglas Howell emphasized his role as a student guide, encouraging critical thinking and hands-on learning in an environment where there's "no illusion that the teacher knows all." RSU 57 invites all to support these aspiring engineers and innovators during the SeaPerch Challenge. Good luck, Mustangs!
