Dear Families,
I hope everyone is having a wonderful day. Because of the snow day we have moved our 8th grade parent night to Tuesday 2/25 from 6-7. Pizza will be provided.
We will start with a brief information session in the student center. After that, we will move into the gym for the Freshmen Fair! In the gym you will be able to visit tables with representatives from all our academic departments, student senate, dual enrollment and more. Tours of the school will also be provided by current students!
We are so excited to meet our incoming Freshmen and we are looking forward to welcoming all of you to the high school community!
Dwayne Conway, Ed.D
Principal
Maranacook Community High School

The middle school music department is anxious to perform their winter concert for the community. With weather as it is, and in an effort to keep everyone safe, we would like to extend an invitation to the community to attend the performance on Monday, December 9th, at 7pm, our snow date. Hopefully weather will cooperate. In the meantime we hope you will join us at the annual tree-lighting ceremony this Friday at 6:00pm at the Readfield public library. There will be a small performance featuring the middle school chamber choir before we light the tree. We also hope you may join us for cookies, hot chocolate and a visit with Santa before he makes his way to the North Pole. Thank you all for your patience and happy holidays!
