Beginning next week, the MMHS cafeteria will begin using reusable trays for all lunches. When students are finished eating lunch, they should bring their lunch trays to the washroom area, scrape them clean and then stack their trays on the counter. All food waste should go in the marked compost bin and any trash or plastic in the trash. Any food waste, like fruit, bread, fries, pizza and leftover food scraps are perfect compost material. Just be sure there are no stickers on the leftover fruit. Peel them off and throw them away. Even meat and cheese products can be added to our bins. The trays are then washed and sanitized and reused again the next day. Milk cartons, plastic forks, chip bags, and anything plastic cannot be composted. Those have to go in the trash or it will contaminate the compost and we get a fine from the Black Earth Compost Company that collects our compost. When in doubt, throw it out. And be sure you don’t throw out the tray by accident! Thank you!

MMHS is collaborating with YMCA of Cape Cod to bring an exciting opportunity for our BIPOC students here at Mashpee. The Y-Achievers Program is a college prep and career readiness program aimed to motivate BIPOC teens by giving them the support and resources to pursue and achieve their personal, academic, and career goals. Please see Ms. Almeida in Guidance B if you are interested in joining this program which is set to start in January.

Congratulations to Mr. Zuaro and our chorus students for an amazing concert last Thursday night!

MMHS Builders Club visited Barnstable High School to help with ideas to build our Mashpee Cares Closet. Barnstable has an amazing program and we're so happy they were willing to share their ideas. Thank you, Barnstable High School! MMHS Students: If you need clothing, hygiene products, or food items, always feel free to visit the Mashpee Cares Closet located in A-wing first floor! It's open every day during homeroom. MMHS Families: If you would like assistance accessing items from our Mashpee Cares Closet, please contact Builders Club Advisors Casey Lynch (clynch@mpspk12.org) and Laura Taylor (ltaylor@mpspk12.org).
