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

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." |

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. |
