Margaret Chase Smith School held its final assembly to celebrate the hard work and achievements of students for the final trimester.
The school recognized the efforts of all students who participated in enrichment clubs and maintained great attendance throughout the year.
The school congratulated all of the “Coyotes” who received certificates and encouraged them to continue their hard work next year.
To end the year on a fun note, the school selected some students to sill string a staff member. This brought a lot of excitement and laughter to the assembly and was a great way to end the year.



MCS wishes all of our coyotes an amazing summer vacation! See you all in August!




Margaret Chase Smith students were able to travel back in time to visit to Old York last week as part of their American Revolution unit. Students were able to tour the Virginia Weare Parsons Education Center, the Remick Gallery, Jefferds Tavern, the cemetery, and York Corner Schoolhouse.The second grade team had a great time walking to Goodall Park to enjoy an outdoor picnic with friends before exploring the playground.
