Once upon a time there was a school who all read the same book at the same time. Yes, we are doing it again! Let’s kick off our One School One Book program with a dress up day Friday Jan 31st. Students can dress up as their favorite fairy tale character tomorrow and a copy of The Tale of Despereaux book will come home with the oldest child in the family.
We had some junior scientists today as well!
Our students loved getting in on the action!
Science Museum came to visit today. Our students learned about solids, gases, and liquids. It was amazing!! Thank you so much to the PTA for providing this experience for our students.

This is my 6th year coaching high school basketball, my third for Melrose Area. I have also coached middle school football for 6 years as well. My favorite part about coaching athletics is helping the athletes grow in their understanding of the sport, but also seeing their growth as people. It is fun for me to see some of the girls who were in middle school when I started coaching here, now be apart of our varsity team and the growth that has come over that time period!
Thank A Coach/Advisor Week is Jan. 27-Feb. 3, and we are pleased to point the spotlight at MAS Coach/Advisor Staff! We asked the following questions:
1) How many years have you been coaching?
2) What sport(s) have you coached?
3) What is your favorite part of coaching?
6th Graders are learning about Newton's Laws of Motion, by using K'nex kits. They will create a car and then they have to accomplish several goals, such as having it roll 30 feet.
Puzzles are so much fun! Making friends and learning to collaborate in preschool!

3. My favorite part of coaching is taking a group of individuals and trying to get them to share one vision as a team. It is very satisfying to see individuals and teams improve throughout the course of the season and develop life long skills while playing a game they enjoy.
