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. Troyanos and our band students on an amazing performance! A special shout out goes to senior Eve Mayen for conducting. Excellent job!

On Monday, January 13th, the MMHS Teen TASK (Taking a Stand For Kids) team, led by Mrs. Carpenter and Jacob Stapleton from Children’s Cove, had the opportunity to visit Children’s Cove with Officer Hennessey. During their visit, the students toured the facility, met with the dedicated Children’s Cove team, and learned about the important work being done at the Children’s Advocacy Center.

As members of the Teen TASK Force, these students are developing valuable skills in supporting others, being allies, and encouraging their peers to seek help when needed. The experience also provided them with a deeper understanding of how to view situations from different perspectives and how to use their knowledge to make a positive impact on the community.

Great job, Teen TASK Force! Keep up the excellent work!

Members of the MMHS GSA (Gender/Sexuality Alliance) coordinated a Kindness Wall during lunches on Wednesday, January 15th. The theme was ‘Kindness Has No Category’ and students were asked to write positive messages on sticky notes (recognizing an individual or spreading a positive message to other students). Special thanks to GSA President Max Nash and Vice-President Naiomi Javier for running the tables during all three lunches!

Attached are photos from the past 2 Stalworth Sisters groups. Shout out to our inspiring guest speakers Aundria and Lisa. Both speakers talked to the group about their inspiring journeys and what it took to become successful female business owners.
