Margaret Chase Smith School

Congratulations to our Seniors who are graduating this evening! It was great to see them hit the MCS halls one last time yesterday!

We are ready for the 2024-2025 school year! K-3 students got to meet their new teacher during our step up day.

This morning, the Class of 2024 received their caps and gowns and then took a trip down memory lane as they walked through the middle and elementary schools to bid farewell! Students and staff from each school filled the halls to give congratulations. 

Check out our third grade spirit day--- career day!

Hello coyote families! The end of the school year is just around the corner. Does your student have an epipen, inhaler, or other medication in the nurse's office? Don't forget to make arrangements for an adult to come in and pick up medications before summer break!

Hello MCS Families! Hopefully you are enjoying the beautiful weather before our final full week of school for the 2023-2024 school year. It was great to see so many families last week at our concerts, ice cream social and promotion ceremony.

What an incredible music concert season at Margaret Chase Smith Elementary! 🎵✨ The talented students from kindergarten through fourth grade put on spectacular performances over the past week. It kicked off last Thursday with the kindergarteners and first graders delighting us with their energy and enthusiasm. Then, earlier this week, the third graders took the stage and impressed us all with their skills. The season ended with a bang last night as the fourth graders gave a showstopping finale performance! A huge thank you to all the students for sharing their hard work and musical gifts with us. And a special shoutout to music teacher, Ms. Hastings! If you missed any of the concerts, don't worry - they'll be available to watch on WSSRTV's YouTube page very soon. Stay tuned for those video links!

This is a reminder that today's dedication ceremony to name the Margaret Chase Smith Library after Sharon Remick begins at 3:30 pm.  A formal ceremony will begin at 3:45 pm. 

It was a perfect evening to serve over 375 students and families last evening with our ice cream social event. A huge thank you to our staff who scooped ice cream, the creative face painting designers and to the PTA members who donated supplies. This event was possible with the generous donation of Shaker Pond Ice Cream.

Who is ready for field day tomorrow? We will kick off the event with a special pep rally at 8:50am. Make sure to wear your sneakers, apply sunscreen at home, pack a hat/sunglasses and have your water bottle filled. It is a great day to be a coyote!

A group of dedicated fourth-grade girls at Margaret Chase Smith recently completed a heartwarming positivity project by decorating the school bathrooms with uplifting messages and colorful artwork. These inspiring students took it upon themselves to transform these everyday spaces into sources of encouragement and joy for their peers. Armed with vinyl and a lot of enthusiasm, they adorned the walls with phrases like "You are amazing," "Believe in yourself," and "Spread kindness."

We hope to see you all this evening from 5:30-6:30 pm for the Ice Cream Social. This event is free, but students can purchase tickets to pie in the face or silly string a staff member at our end of year assembly in June. All proceeds will benefit our Student Engagement Clubs. It is a great day to be a coyote!

Our 2nd and 3rd grade vocalists hit the stage this evening! Great job coyotes!
