On Sunday, May 5th at Ferncroft Country Club, The Northeastern Conference celebrated two senior student-athletes from each school for their outstanding academic and athletic achievement, along with their school and community involvement. The two Masconomet representatives were Ellie Green and Andrew Voner (Ellie standing, 2nd from right and Andrew kneeling, 2nd from right). Ellie will be attending Wesleyan University in the fall while continuing her track career. Andrew will be attending Bates College and plans on majors in mathematics, with the goal of becoming a math teacher. Congratulations to both student-athletes.

Masco students were involved with Earth Day events in the tri-town over the last few weeks. Here are some photos of them in action.

Last weekend Señoras Sampietro and Croteau accompanied 18 freshmen on a Latino Cultural Trip to New York City. The day they arrived they went to a salsa class at Salsa Sabrosa where the students learned the steps and then performed a salsa dance. That night the group ate at a restaurant with typical Argentine cuisine in the West Village where all the students ordered in Spanish. Saturday they explored the Dominican neighborhood of Washington Heights. They walked through Quisqueya Plaza and hiked up to the MET Cloisters, an offshoot of the MET Museum that specializes in European art and architecture from medieval times. They later traveled to Spanish Harlem and toured El Museo Barrio which focuses on Latino and Caribbean art, specifically art from Puerto Rico. Saturday night they ate at a Cuban Restaurant called Havana Central Times Square where they dined on sandwiches cubanos, empanadas, arroz con pollo and churros. Later that night they visited the Empire State Building and saw stunning views of the city. Finally on Sunday the group went to the MET Museum and explored Hispanic painters from various time periods such as Picasso, El Greco, Juan Miró and many more.

Masconomet's National Art Honor Society will be hosting a raffle to sell their one-of-a-kind watercolor landscape paintings of Greece. Please click the following link to view the collection NAHS paintings

Please come to the Mamma Mia performances on May 17th and 18th to view the paintings in the lobby outside the auditorium & use your raffle tickets to bid on your favorite paintings.

Cost is $5 for 1 ticket or $20 for 6 tickets. We will only be accepting cash for tickets so please plan accordingly. Winners will be contacted after the last performance.

All proceeds for this fundraiser will benefit the Arts! (National Art Honor Society, Masco Performing Arts and the Meinelt Art Scholarship fund)

The Freshman Walk is next week! Our collective goal is to raise $16,500! We are asking each student, and Peer Leader, to raise $100. The only way we achieve this goal is if we work together as a community, which is the focal point of the Peer Leading program.

All donations need to be submitted to Mr. Kelsen (room H2220) by Wednesday, May 15th. We can accept both cash and checks (made out to Masconomet).

"This committee is comprised of students who participated the New England Student Leadership Conference (NESLC) and/or the MIAA Student Ambassador program. Student Advisory Committee members attend seasonal meetings with the Educational Athletics Committee and help facilitate student and captains leadership workshops throughout the school year." - from the MIAA website
