GENERAL INFORMATION
WAVM is our student-run radio and television station. Student radio shows are up and running for 2023-2024 -- tune in on 91.7 FM, or at wavm.org -- every school day from 2 PM - 9 PM.
Students in grades 6-12 who want to get involved are encouraged to stop by the station or come to a staff meeting, meet Mr. Valenti, Mrs. Newey, and the student CEO's, and sign up for a job! Even better, sign up to work at the 2023 Beacon Santa Telethon!
2023 TELETHON -- NOVEMBER 29 FINAL MANDATORY FAMILY MEETING
Our first Telethon meeting drew a huge crowd of volunteers. We are excited to put everyone to work. There will be a final mandatory meeting to finish up our WAVM Telethon planning on November 29. Each student who plans to work at the Beacon Santa Telethon must attend and must bring a parent or guardian to this meeting. The meeting will provide all the details of each job, and its expectations. Don't forget to block out the weekend of December 9-10 in your calendar now -- that will be Telethon Weekend!
Families and community members who want to support the Beacon Santa Telethon are encouraged to email anewey@maynard.k12.ma.us. We need volunteers, auction items, sponsers, and more! Everyone in Maynard and the surrounding towns is welcome to help us support local families in need.
MHS has just completed its first German American Partnership Program (GAPP) exchange with our partner school, IGS, in Ingelheim, Germany. Twelve students and three teachers visited MHS for three weeks. They experienced "typical" American class schedules, broadcasting radio shows on WAVM, visiting Boston and Salem, watching MHS sports, and even fully participating in an MHS pep rally. MHS host families went above and beyond in showing their visiting students the area, with individual trips to Vermont, New Hampshire, New York, or Rhode Island, Broadway shows, apple picking, and more. This was the second part of our exchange, as MHS sent a contingency of 12 students and 2 teachers to stay with host families of IGS Ingelheim in June. We look forward to continuing this partnership!
The mission of the Maynard Special Education Parent Advisory Council (SEPAC) is to work for the understanding of, respect for, and support of all children with special needs in the community.
Maynard SEPAC works in collaboration with MPS community members to:
· Promote a network of parents and forums to share information
· Advise the school district on special education programs, training needs, and policy
· Promote communication between PAC members; local, state and national organizations, councils and groups
· Promote understanding, acceptance, and inclusion within the community
· Provide informational forums for parents, students, educators, and professionals
Joining is easy - any community member who attends a SEPAC meeting or event during the year is considered a voting member. There are many ways to contribute and we will work with you to identify something that works with your schedule and responsibilities.
Please reach out to our Public Outreach Coordinator Kim Baldasaro, sepacoutreach@maynard.k12.ma.us with any questions or for more information about joining.
