Attention parents!

The state has mandated that all members of the Class of 2010 must pass a science MCAS as part of the graduation requirement from high school. This assessment will be administered at Mansfield High School on Tuesday, June 3 and Wednesday, June 4. If your son/daughter completed the study of Biology during the first semester of this school year then the course ended for him/her at the end of January.

Many students have expressed concern about reviewing for this important assessment. In response to this concern the MHS science department will conduct two evenings of review sessions for students who want to avail themselves of this opportunity. These review sessions will help students prepare for the Biology MCAS. We plan to hold these sessions on Wednesday, May 28 and Thursday, May 29 from 6:00-8:00 in the evening.

If your son/daughter would like to participate in these sessions we ask that you fill out the response at the bottom of this letter. We need to know how many students will be there so that we can plan accordingly. Please ask your child to return the response to any science teacher by Friday, May 16.

Sincerely:

Jim Perry, Science Chairman

And the honors keep coming

 I'm pleased to announce that Stephanie Piccirilli has been selected to participate in the 2008 Massachusetts Art All-States (Link).

High school juniors all across the Commonwealth are invited to apply for this unique opportunity to spend two days and one evening at the Worcester Art Museum with professional artist-mentors to work on collaborative projects.

Each applicant had to submit samples of their artwork and participate in an interview. A very small number of students are selected for this program.

We're very proud of Stephanie for being accepted to the Art All-States and for representing Mansfield public schools with distinction.

Mansfield teens a visible presence

 

BY TED NESI / SUN CHRONICLE STAFF

MANSFIELD - Steve Clapp and Bill Mackie were only freshmen when they learned about the plight of children caught in the middle of the Ugandan civil war, after a film about the conflict's impact was shown at a school assembly.

But the stories have remained on their minds, and now the two Mansfield High School juniors, both 17, are launching a campaign to raise money and awareness about the humanitarian crisis in the East African nation, which has suffered through the longest civil war in that continent's history.

"I really just couldn't believe it," Clapp said. "Most all Americans are just so focused on what's going on around here, and the war in Iraq, that we don't care about anything else."

 Empty Bowls

The Art Department will be hosting "Empty Bowls" on May 15th. Empty Bowls is a fundraiser and hunger awareness campaign done all over where handmade bowls are sold and usually a dinner is served with the proceeds going to food pantries. We will be selling our bowls during the system-wide Art Exhibit and all of the proceeds will go to the Mansfield Food Pantry. Last time we did this we raised almost $1000!!!

Booster Club fundraiser

Mark your calendar for Friday, May 9, 2008 for Mansfield High School Booster's Club annual Comedy Night to be held at the Elks Club located on Main Street, Mansfield.

Doors open at 7:30 with the entertainment beginning at 8:30. Refreshments, cash bar, and sports raffle are all part of the plan. The event is $35.00 per person with a table of ten available.

Please contact Rose at 508-272-1147 for ticket information.

See you the night of the 9th!

 

Bowlathon

The National Honor Society is coordinating a bowlathon at Northbowl in N. Attleboro on Saturday, May 10th at 1:00 to raise money for Cystic Fibrosis. As many of you know, we have a few students in the district with CF, and two of them are from the same family. We want to encourage teachers/administrators to participate in this event, either individually or in teams. The cost is $5 per person to participate, to cover the cost of bowling, and then there are  pledge sheets for you to get sponsors.

There are some prizes for top fund raisers, including (I'm 99% sure) a pair of Red Sox tickets, and a couple of Vera Bradley items.
