Happiest Place on Earth!
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, 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!

Summer Opportunities at BASEC!
Mattress Fundraiser
The Maynard Booster Club has an exciting opportunity for Maynard High School and Fowler Middle School athletes to raise funds and earn individual cash and prizes. Our upcoming mattress fundraiser will raise money for us to fulfill team requests as we are able and to continue to provide our athletes with letter jackets, trophies and college scholarships.
On Saturday, April 29 from 10am - 4pm, with our partner, Custom Fundraising Solutions (CFS), we will have floor models of name brand mattresses displayed in the Maynard High School Gym to try out and order. The mattresses will sell for up to 50% off retail with the proceeds going to the Maynard Booster Club. The MHS Track and Field Team has run this fundraiser in the past with great success. If you bring in an event flyer with your athlete's name on it, they will get credit for any mattress sale. (Event flyers are available in the main office). We hope to see you there!

GREEN MEADOW ELEMENTARY SCHOOL BUILDING PROJECT
The Green Meadow Elementary School project team has submitted its second MSBA submission! This submission is called the Preferred Schematic Report (PSR) and it advances the initial existing conditions verification, educational visioning & programming and Owner / Community coordination into multiple design alternatives, shows MSBA the design alternative evaluation process taken by the project team, and highlights which design alternative was ultimately selected at the end of the process.
Below is a link to a Google Drive folder that contains the previous Preliminary Design Program (PDP) submission as well as the recent PSR submission. As always, we thank you very much for your attention to the project, and we’ll continue to keep you informed as the project moves along the MSBA process!
