MST Weekly Update
May 19, 2023

Good afternoon to all of our MST family members.
Tonight is prom night! It is looking like it will be a beautiful night for outdoor pictures. As mentioned previously, the prom is at The Farmhouse at Candia Woods from 6:30-10:00. We are looking forward to seeing our prom guests all dressed up for the evening. Students must be in the prom by 7:00 and once they leave the venue, they can not return.
A reminder that next weekend is a three-day weekend in observance of Memorial Day. There is no school on Monday May 29th as that is the National Holiday. Weather permitting, we will have a Memorial Day observance at MST on Friday at 8:45 AM. The rain date will be on Tuesday May 30th.
MST's Annual Walk Against Hunger
MST's Annual Walk Against Hunger will be on Friday, May 26th. The rain date will be June 2nd.
Students are invited to sign up and get some fresh air! Please fill out the form below if interested in participating in our school wide Walk Against Hunger Sponsored by Families in Transition.
The walk and the after party will be on Friday, May 26th from B1 to C2 (10:00-12:30). It is necessary to donate to walk.
If you pledge and raise $10 for the Walk Against Hunger you will be able to participate in the Walk Against Hunger, participate in a competitive game, and will gain entry to the after-party with games and summer-time food. You will also be showing your support to end hunger in our community.
And The Verdict Is....
On Wednesday May 17th, students in the Public Safety and Law program conducted a mock trial. Students worked on preparing for a prosecution as well as a defense for a case about a Fraternity Hazing and First Degree Murder.
The students presented the evidence, facts and witnesses in an ethical and professional manner. A great way to assess court procedure while assessing skills needed for class competencies!
It was a fun day for all.
NH High School Short Film Festival
Out of nearly 100 entries, the top 20 films were nominated to be shown at this year's New Hampshire High School Short Film Festival. One of those selected is "I Saw Her", a short film written, directed, and edited by MSTHS senior Lily Lachance. Camera work was by Lily and Angie Bouchard. Sound recording was done by Angie and Aiden Begin. The film stars Johnny Phan along with a cast of several other MSTHS and MST-CTE students and video teacher, Mr. Lord
The free movie festival will be held at Chunky's Cinema in Manchester on Sunday May 21st at 12:30 PM, followed by an awards ceremony.
Congratulations to all involved for being selected for this festival.
Two Important Nights for MST
Two important end of the year events have been added to our calendar:
CTE Recognition Night will be held on Tuesday May 30th at 6:00 in the Memorial High School Auditorium. Recognition Night celebrates all CTE students who have successfully completed all required competencies of their 2-year CTE program. Students receiving a Certificate of Completion are those who went above and beyond and are being recommended for continuation in their chosen trade. Also recognized are those who completed two or more programs and students receiving scholarships related to their trade. Invitations will be sent out in early May to the families of those being recognized that night. Due to space limitations, we can only allow 2 guests per student.
Class Night will be held on Wednesday June 14th in the Memorial High School auditorium at 6:00. This night is for all seniors, who will attend in cap and gown. This evening is for presentation of scholarships, academic awards and other honors received by members of the Class of 2023.
