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.
