MPSD Wall of Honor Nominations


April 30, 2018

The Marshfield School Committee and MPSD Leadership team are excited to begin the process to select the district’s inaugural Wall of Honor induction class.  The purpose of this honor is to foster pride in our system through recognition of individual achievement of former students, teachers, coaches/advisors, administrators, school committee members and friends of the Marshfield Public Schools.

Voted on last fall by the School Committee, the Wall of Honor will look to “honor people of exemplary moral character who have made an outstanding contribution to the school community or education, over a period of time; or have accomplished exemplary achievement; or have displayed outstanding leadership.”

“Any faculty/administrator/school committee members or school volunteers/supporters who have not worked in the Marshfield Public School district for at least three (3) years or more, and /or students who have been graduated for three (3) years or more are eligible to be considered for nomination. Any member of the Marshfield community or Marshfield school community may nominate a candidate.”  

Over the past month, we have established a Wall of Honor Subcommittee and that group of individuals will be responsible for deliberating over each nominee’s qualifications and making a final determination on this year’s Honorees.  This subcommittee consists of the Superintendent, two members of the community, two school committee members, two teachers and a building principal.

“Any member of the Marshfield community or Marshfield school community may nominate a candidate.  Nominations should be made by letter (or by attached nomination form) stating the individual’s accomplishments and the nominator’s reasons for support of the nomination.  Vitae of the nomination should accompany the letter.” 

These letters of nomination should be submitted to Ruthann Despier, the Superintendent's Administrative Assistant.  The letter/nomination form can either be mailed to the Marshfield Public Schools’ Central Office (76 South River Street) or emailed to Ms. Ruthann Despier at rdespier@mpsd.org.  The deadline for submitting a nomination letter will be Friday, May 18th.

Once the inaugural class to the Wall of Honor is selected (early June), those individuals will be notified and there will be an evening to honor them.


Sincerely,

MPSD Wall of Honor Subcommittee

MEF St. Patrick's Day 5K: Saturday, April 14th

An update from our friends at the Marshfield Education Foundation (MEF) about the annual St. Patrick's Day Roadrace:

While disappointed not to be able to hold the race on the 17th, we are still excited for a great race on 4/14! Registration remains open through 4/13 at w/ 2 additional bib pickups in Norwell on 4/11 from 10-7 & 4/12 from 10-8. Slainte!

The weather will be great and you couldn't ask for a better cause. The MEF is a true friend of the Marshfield Public Schools and the money raised will go directly towards funding innovative and creative grants that support our teachers and students.
