Updates at MKG

Classrooms at MKG

This post is to explain what occurred at MKG and dispel any rumors in regard to the extent of the damage sustained over the weekend. As a result of Nemo, we lost electricity and heat at MKG. Middleborough Gas and Electric worked diligently to restore power to the schools. When it came back on, 5 univents in classrooms had issues as water had frozen in the pipes. Fortunately, it was caught quickly on Sunday evening and the cleanup process began. The univents were repaired on Monday and damaged tiles were removed. Teachers in those rooms lost a few books and classroom rugs were deemed unusable. The school is back in good shape and ready for students to return.

The Mignosa Family

One of our families lost everything in a house fire this weekend.  I did speak to Mrs. Mignosa today and assured her son at  MKG will be supported. He is a great young man and always has a smile on his face. We want to sustain his upbeat personality.

She was so appreciative of the outpouring of support from the Middleborough community. We will put together an effort to collect items such as gift cards for this family. More information will be sent out soon. I have spoken to Mrs. Medeiros, who has volunteered to spearhead the effort at MKG.

Looking forward to seeing students back in our hallways tomorrow!

BOKS Update

Lucky Lunch, Eagle painting, Recess and Constant Contact

Lucky Lunch

Lucky Lunch began this week.  Classrooms are earning points and we will announce winners on Friday. They are working really hard.

Eagle Painting

Where the map used to be will now contain our eagle that be painted and hold our feathers for the Mary K. Do Gooder awards. Thank you to Kara from the On the Spot. We appreciate it!

Recess

In the winter time, recess becomes difficult. The grassy area changes with snow, ice and mud. It can also be frozen solid. During these times, the blacktop becomes our recess area. It has limitations because students can run and fall, leading to injuries. In the spring, a goal we will have is to repaint the blacktop area so it is fresh with play zones.

Constant Contact

Located in the lower left corner of the Mary K. Goode website, you will find a QR code box and a link that when clicked will ask for your name and email address. This will allow us to add you to our email list and send a digital newsletter. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact the school. Thank you.
