2023 Maynard High School Music Department Disney Trip
The MHS Band & Chorus recently spent 5 days in Disney World! Under the direction of Mr. Kozik and Ms. Sommer, the students put on incredible performances of Disney favorites on stage at Disney Springs. They also participated in soundtrack workshops with Disney musicians, which was an amazing experience that students will remember forever. The students were also able to visit a Disney theme park each day. Everyone enjoyed their time at the Happiest Place on Earth!
Celebration of Girls and Women in Sports Day
On Friday, April 28, seniors Hannah McLaughlin and Ella Rowe represented Maynard High School at the annual MIAA Celebration of Girls and Women in Sports held at Faneuil Hall. They had the opportunity to hear from distinguished athletes, and to learn more about the incredible transformation of women's athletics over the past 50 years. Congratulations to Hannah and Ella on their athletic accomplishments in high school!!

ADDITIONAL RESOURCES
This school year, ALL STUDENTS can receive a free breakfast and lunch every day at school. However, if you think that your family might qualify, we strongly encourage parents/caregivers to complete the free and reduced lunch application. Qualifying for free and reduced lunch also qualifies students for reduced cost and/or fee waivers for various school related fees (bus fee, field trips, SAT test fees, AP test fees and college application fees). The online application is available here: https://www.nlappscloud.com (social security numbers and proof of permanent residency are NOT required).
There are two community food pantries in Maynard that are available to Maynard residents.
The Open Table Food Pantry (www.opentable.org; 33 Main St, Maynard) is open on Tuesdays, 3:30 - 6:30 PM and Thursdays, 1 - 4:30 PM and offers free bags of groceries 1x/week. Open Table also allows families to pick up frozen meals for family members weekly.
The Maynard Food Pantry (www.maynardfoodpantry.com; 82 Main St., Maynard) is open on Mondays from 10 AM - 12 noon 1-2x/month
