We had another great week here at Fowler, and I appreciate all your support. Earlier this week, I sent an email to our middle school grades discussing the impact of social media on our students. While this issue primarily affects middle school, it is important for everyone to be mindful and consistent in checking their child’s social media accounts. Whenever any student or caregiver finds a social media group or post that appears to directly impact any students, we ask that the school administration be informed. These types of posts are not easy to monitor; however, having any level of awareness will help us should we need to intervene. This will also allow us to keep our school resource office informed.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

The Theater Program in the Maynard Public Schools is GROWING!! We are excited to announce the creation of a new nonprofit, The Maynard Theater Association, to support student theater at Maynard High School and Fowler School. The Maynard Theater Association, through generous donations and grants, will provide funds that will increase the professionalism and scope of our theater program.

In part through the generosity of a Maynard Cultural Council grant, we reached our goal of new body microphones for each school for the 2025 musicals! Behind the scenes, many talented students and adults create magic out of thin air. But our theater program can shine by financial investments in live music, costumes, set design supplies, a new curtain, access to new musicals with licensing agreements, and more. WE NEED YOU!

For our inaugural year, we are asking for businesses, families, and supporters of the theater arts to donate to the Maynard Theater Association Fund!
