Builders Club, which held its second meeting of the school year on Monday, October 28th, is looking for donations to support the Mashpee Cares Closet (MCC). Our Builders Club members are dedicated to keeping the MCC stocked and organized, making sure essential items like food, clothing, and hygiene products are accessible to all students at Mashpee Middle-High School. Their efforts keep this resource available for those who need it most.

We’re currently looking for donations of the following items: Items Needed for the MCC. Any help in keeping the MCC stocked with essential supplies is greatly appreciated!

For questions or more information, please reach out to Builders Club Advisors Casey Lynch (clynch@mpspk12.org) and Laura Taylor (ltaylor@mpspk12.org).

A SEPAC is a Special Education Parent Advisory Council. Every public school district in Massachusetts is required to establish a SEPAC. Membership is free and open to all district parents of children with disabilities (IEPs and 504 plans) or without.

The role of the SEPAC can include:

• Discussing district special education needs, progress, concerns and/or questions related to overall district special education programming.

• Meeting with administrators to collaborate on special education programming and policies in our district.

• Providing a support network for families to voice personal concerns and experiences without judgment.

• Organizing surveys to see how our district’s special education and general education can improve.

• Providing resources, workshops, and information on events related to special education

A SEPAC is different from other parent groups in a school district such as a PTA, PTO or School Council – a SEPAC does not represent families from one school, but represents all families of children with disabilities from the entire school district. We need YOU to create a thriving, meaningful Mashpee SEPAC!

EMAIL SEPAC@MPSPK12.ORG WITH ANY QUESTIONS OR INPUT!

Indian Education is partnering with Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project (WLRP) to offer a Wampanoag only class here at MMHS. This class will take place on Fridays from 10:14-10:59 in the Indian Education Room starting on November 15th. It's a voluntary class for any MMHS Wampanoag student or MMHS student living in a Wampanoag household. Come learn to speak your language by watching, listening, and then speaking. This class does not use a textbook; all you need is yourself and a willingness to have some fun!

To sign up, please pick up a permission slip in the Main Office. Once completed, return the permission slip to the Main Office. The class begins November 15th and any interested student MUST sign up before December 6th.

Do you want to learn about the Wôpanâak Language Reclamation Project? Check out their website at https://www.wlrp.org/

Open to Native girls at MMHS, grades 7-9, every Tuesday starting November 5th in the Wampanoag Education Room, facilitated by Talia Landry. Permission slips are available in the Main Office. Contact Talia Landry at Talia.Landry@mwtribe-nsn.gov for more information.

Every Friday is an MMHS Spirit Day! We encourage students and staff to wear their Mashpee gear, royal blue, white, or black. We have a school store located just outside our cafeteria for students who would like to shop. Let's go Falcons!

Congratulations to senior Lindsey Lu, the recipient of this year's M.A.S.S. Superintendent's Academic Excellence Award! Lindsey received her award at last night's School Committee meeting. We're so proud of you, Lindsey!
