MAPLEWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL HOME & SCHOOL ASSOCIATION

PLEASE HELP our 8th graders! After a very tough year for all students, we are so pleased to host an 8th Grade Social and a Moving Up Ceremony to help our graduates say a final goodbye to MMS!! PLEASE - consider contributing to our 8th GRADE FUND (link here) so that we can celebrate our kids in style! YOUR GENEROSITY MAKES A BIG DIFFERENCE - THANK YOU!

Moving Up Ceremony
Join us as we celebrate the Maplewood Middle School Class of 2021. The ceremony will be June 24 at 9 a.m. at Underhill Field. More details to come.

While this academic year has certainly seen its fair share of difficulties, our teachers and administration have worked hard to navigate these challenges. If you are looking for a way to thank your child’s teacher, principal, guidance counselor, coach or any staff member in our schools, why not consider an Achieve “Honor Your Teacher” Tribute? For a minimum suggested donation of $10, Achieve will send a year-end thank you card with a personalized message to your designated recipient on behalf of your child and/or family. Teachers tell us they love to receive these notes of gratitude, and your contribution will help Achieve continue to support educator grants across our district. Sending a tribute is easy, just fill out the form on Achieve's website before June 16th.

Mr. Kessler is looking for a few engineers or architects to help judge our Bridge Over Troubled Waters contest. Geometry students are building bridges out of popsicle sticks and glue. We need some professional eyes to help judge the bridges on their strength, design, and planning. The presentation will be on the front lawn of MMS on June 11 at 3:30 pm. Please contact Mr. Kessler if you are interested.

The Home and School Association (HSA) acts as the connective tissue between teachers, administrators, and families. If you've got an hour or two to spare, we sure could use your help! Currently filling many roles, reach out at mmshsainfo@gmail.com.
