MHS Homecoming 2022!


Lyman Elementary 5th grade students Hayden Swindler, Dominic Thyng, Isaiah Mendes, & Grant Lapiana ran their first Bagel Biz last Friday! Students were tasked with preparing, packaging, delivering & charging various staff members for their Panera bagel and side of cream cheese. The hope is to use the profits to go towards funding cooking sessions and an end of the year field trip!!

Service Member Recognition Night
Tonight the Massabesic High School Football team will be hosting South Portland at 7pm. Our team will be wearing jerseys provided by the National Guard as a gesture, honoring those who have served locally and beyond. 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. Spectators will have the opportunity to donate to this cause at the ticket booths upon entry to the game.
We thank you for your continued support of our teams and hope you enjoy the game!
Go Mustangs!

Say Something - Anonymous Reporting Platform
It is our responsibility as a school community to keep one another safe and informed. If someone is in danger, or causing danger, we have a responsibility to help. At times it can be difficult or uncomfortable to report unsafe behavior. The 'Say Something' platform is for anonymous reporting to keep all students safe. The premise is simple - if you see/hear something, say something. Together we can keep each other safe and comfortable at MHS. ('Say Something' flyer is attached to this message)


Hello Mustang Nation,
Travel this morning may be impacted by dense fog in many, many areas. Please be aware that some arrivals may be delayed. As of right now our buses are rolling per their normal routines and are on time. However, travel has been slowed across the region - our student drivers, and parents dropping off students, may be impacted. Travel safely!

Hello Mustang Nation,
We are experiencing some issues with our Synergy platform. Our tech team is working diligently to rectify the issues as quickly as possible. These issues are affecting our ability to move forward with scheduling. Our guidance department is currently at a standstill until we find a resolution. We understand this is frustrating. We are discussing our Add/Drop deadline due to this pause in our work. We appreciate your patience and understanding as our skilled tech team resolves these issues. We will provide updates as new information becomes available.
-Mr. Thurlow

Hello Mustang Nation,

-Mr. Thurlow

MHS Varsity Football's home opener has been moved from Friday 9/2 to Thursday 9/1. Game time is 7pm. The MHS Field Hockey game scheduled for 9/1 has been moved to Friday 9/2. This is to account for a shortage in officials available.

Today was the last day for summer meals at RSU 57! Over 12,000 meals were served to children in our community. A huge thank you to the Summer Food Service Staff! Sue Herrin, Linda Parker, Cathy Couture, Lisa Descoteaux & Jodi Strandburg (not pictured Sherry Durgin, Cindy Scarpaci & Vanessa Richardson)
They were able to enjoy a special appreciation lunch for all of their hard work!
