Author Presentation at Masconomet Middle School
On Friday, May 3rd, Michael Tougias will present to our 7th and 8th grades about his New York Times’ bestselling book, The Finest Hours. The Finest Hours recounts the story of the 1952 wreck of the SS Pendleton and the rescue of the crew by the U.S. Coast Guard. Thanks to the Masconomet Education Foundation (MEF) for supporting Mr. Tougias’ presentation.
Teacher Appreciation Week, May 6-10
The week of May 6-10 is celebrated as teacher appreciation week. I think that all of us have fond memories of a teacher who challenged us to be better, supported us when we made mistakes, and knew how to unlock our unrealized potential. I ask everyone to please join our school committee, district administration, and Masconomet Parent Activities Committee (PAC) in thanking our teachers for the amazing work they do every day with our students. Masconomet PAC is collecting donations to recognize our teachers next week. Please go to https://www.signupgenius.com/go/20F0A4BABAF28A2FC1-49056029-masco to get involved.
