Dear RSU 57 Community.

Ms. Driscoll and Mrs. Haynes classes had a surprise gingerbread cookie decorating celebration today. Our kindergarten and first grade students were thrilled to enter the "Winter Wonderland" that was ready to welcome them to a station where they created their own version of a gingerbread person -- just like in the books we've been reading. Our mini gingerbread unit was a success and this celebration was a great way to wrap it up and share a special celebration amongst the two classes. The students were role models who followed our school rules the entire time, earning praise from all of their grown-up helpers and teachers!

Additional photos from the Student Council Veteran's Dinner on 12/1/22.
On Thursday, December 1, the MMS Student Council hosted a "Bring A Vet to Dinner" event. It was a wonderful celebration of gratitude for the service of local veterans who were invited as honored guests of MMS students. On behalf of MMS we would like to thank Mrs. Miller and the Student Council, to all who donated food and their time, including the MHS NJROTC, and finally to the Southern Maine Motorheads Car Club for bringing the Veteran's vehicle for all to see.
