The News From MGWS

Staff and students celebrated the last day of school with an assembly in the gym.  There we were treated to a slideshow prepared by Mrs. Marro which brought back memories of the great things that happened here at MGWS during the past school year. 

Afterward, teachers entertained the students with:

~a handbell song -

~African drumming -

~a bucket drumming ensemble -

~and “The Cupid Shuffle” line dance.

We finished up with a whole school freeze dance competition!

What a great way to end a really wonderful school year.  

Best of luck to the new 6th graders as they move to the middle school.  

New fifth graders – We’ll see you in the fall!  

Happy summer to all!

3 staff members will be saying goodbye to MGWS this year:

~Mrs. Lawrance has been running our computer lab for a few years now.  She assists students with our PLATO program, typing skills, and activities that integrate with the 4th and 5th grade curriculum.  She will be heading to the Middle School to run the PLATO lab next year.  We’ll miss you, Mrs. Lawrance!

~Mrs. Silver has been a secretary here at MGWS since the 4th and 5th grade came to this building in 1999.  She takes care of attendance, record-keeping, correspondence, and so much more.  She is moving on to work in the field of geriatrics.  We’ll miss you, Mrs. Silver!

~Ms. Turner has worked as an art teacher in MSAD #35 for 28 years, and she has also been here at MGWS since 1999.  She has many signature projects – Aboriginal paintings, weavings, masks, and clowns – that have graced our halls for years.  Ms. Turner is retiring from teaching and plans to travel and spend time with family.  We’ll miss you, Ms. Turner!
