Thursday, December 12, 2019 Day 3
PARENT NOTES:
WINTER RIPPLEFFECT:
Rippleffect is back for a winter session at Mahoney. This session is for ROLE alumni and/or hyper-motivated 7th or 8th graders. This session begins at the end of January and will culminate with a weekend-long overnight in the White Mountains. Paperwork is available in the main office and is due back by January 15th.
Here are the dates:
Parent Meeting: January 22 - 6:00
Session 4 February 26, 2:45-5:15
Session 1: January 29, 2:45-5:15
Expedition to White Mountains February 28 through Sunday March 1.
Session 2: February 5, 2:45-5:15
Session 3 February 12, 2:45-5:15

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.
Although the December 3rd Odyssey of the Mind info session was cancelled due to school closing, I am reaching out to those families of Mahoney students who have participated in Odyssey of the Mind at Brown School to make sure you were aware that signups are now open.
Fill out the attached form to sign up and return to school by Dec. 13th. (and mark your calendar for the regional competition on March 14, 2020!)
Feel free to share with other Mahoney friends. No prior Odyssey of the Mind experience necessary!
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!
Mahoney Dance: There will be a school dance on Friday 12/13 from 6-8. Admission is $6 and the dance is for current Mahoney students only.
Sports:
Boys Basketball @ Lyman Moore. 2:55 bus. 7th grade at 3:30 and 8th grade at 4:45.
Girls Basketball Home. 7th grade at 3:30 and 8th grade at 4:45.
