MMS HSA News - Week 6 MAPLEWOOD MIDDLE SCHOOL HOME & SCHOOL ASSOCIATION MMS HSA Families, It's hard to believe that October is already upon us!   Thanks again to everyone who volunteered for our AMAZING sixth grade social this past week! And last month, we also had a great first HSA meeting where we approved our budget -  aiming to expand cultural art opportunities for all grades this year while ensuring equity among the grades.  As a reminder, school is closed on Wednesday, Oct. 9. There is also a SEPAC meeting at 7:30 p.m. on Thursday, Oct. 10 at the Board of Education Building on Academy Street for anyone who is interested in becoming more involved with special education in our district. TIP! Keep track of what is coming up by adding the MMS HSA Google calendar to your calendar. Remember, we are a non-profit and your membership fees are critical to expanding educational and community-building opportunities for all students at MMS (and are also tax deductible). Have a great week! Veronica and Kelly School Closed  School will be closed Wednesday, Oct. 9 for Yom Kippur.
