Rippleffect is back for a winter session at Mahoney. This session is for ROLE alumni and/or hyper-motivated 7th or 8th graders.

As of 12/17 there are only 3 spots left!

Skate Park:
There is a city council workshop on December 17 at 6:30 in order to choose the best location for the new South Portland Skate Park.
All semester course scores will be final at the end of the semester. Students need to make sure that they are talking with their teachers and making sure they have their assignments completed. If there are absences or other issues that would allow for an extension, this would be determined by the teacher and student PRIOR to the close of the semester. When in doubt, it is always a good idea to ask the teacher!
Sports:
Things to remember regarding Basketball:
