WEB Leaders Greet FBMS 6th Graders

As we get ready for the start of the new school year, the 8th grade WEB (Where Everybody Belongs) Leaders, along with many of the FBMS staff, greeted the newest grade 6 arrivals to the Furnace Brook Middle School today.  There was a lot of excitement, information sharing and team building going on throughout the school.  By the end of it all, the 6th graders had a better understanding of life at FBMS and they also knew that they had a number of "veteran" students who would be there for them on Day 1 next week.

Here's a few photos from the day:

Massasoit Open House at MHS

Massasoit Community College had their first open house at Marshfield High School last week.  The high school will serve as a satellite campus for the college this fall.  As many of you know by now, MHS will be host to a handful of general education courses for Massasoit students.  In addition, the college will begin a new Maritime Technician program and run it in one of the technology labs at the high school.

We are thrilled about this partnership with Massasoit and we are looking forward to seeing this relationship grow in the future.  We have a few pictures from the Open House below:

School Comittee Honors District Retirees

At last night's School Committee meeting, retiring staff were recognized for their service to the Marshfield Public Schools.  This is a special group of men and women who gave their careers to help service our students.  They have been teachers, librarians, secretaries, tutors, nurses, support personnel, and custodians.  The impact they have had on our children is immeasurable and we thank them all for their dedication and service to the MPSD.  They will be sorely missed!!

Below is a listing of those who are retiring from the district and their terms of service.

MEF Funds $105,990.03 In Grants

A huge THANK YOU to the Marshfield Education Foundation who, at their last board meeting, funded 16 educator grants totaling $105,990.03.  The organization received 28 grants totaling $402,530, which represents the largest total requests in their history as a foundation. As the Grant Committee completed the evaluation process, they were impressed with the quality of the grants and faced difficult decisions in choosing this year’s recipients. 

 

There will be a reception honoring the grant recipients on Monday, June 13th at 4 PM at the Marshfield Tavern.

 

One big reason the MEF is able to bestow such large grants on our educators is due to the success of their annual "Swing For the Kids" golf tournament.  This year, that event will take place on August 1st at South Shore Country Club.  If you are interested in taking part in this terrific event, you can click on the following link to the event's registration page:  http://events.r20.constantcontact.com/register/event?oeidk=a07ecnh22she7978fe8&llr=cylnz5eab

 

Thank you again to the MEF for all that you do!!

Launch Day 2016

It was a wonderful morning on Friday, as students in the Marine Fabrication class at MHS were able to launch the boats they had been building all year.  It was a tremendous showing of craftsmanship and student pride in their work.  A job well done by all who took part in the event.

Here's a few pictures from the big day.
