Jack Pelkey, MA "Caught You Doing Good." Last week, Jack accidentally knocked something off a teacher's desk. He felt awful and immediately tried to fix the item. Jack even stayed late after class to try and remedy the situation.

Well...the next day...Jack brought in another item to replace the one that he accidentally broke. Way to show kindness Jack!!

Last week, Mr. Campbell showed up for our students in a big way, cheering on our boys’ and girls’ soccer teams at their playoff games and celebrating our new NHS inductees, all outside of school hours. He also volunteered to give up his prep time to cover another colleague's class. Thank you, Mr. Campbell, for supporting our kids and your fellow staff, enjoy a drink from Aroma Joe's, and congratulations on being "caught doing good" at MA!

Landon Sinclair, MA "caught you doing good". During a Fire Drill on Friday, Landon gave the sweatshirt off his back to another student in line who was showing visible signs of being extremely cold. Thank you Landon for your kindness.

Ryleigh McNish, Scottie Morin, Kellan Dill, Elliot Grieco, Izzy Morin, Jakoby Crosby, Avery Wotton and Landon King traveled to Family Fun Bowling Lanes to compete in a Special Olympics Unified Bowling competition. The athletes had a great time and are looking forward to competing again in November with even more MA students participating!

In Mrs. Thurlow-Shain’s Physical Education class the wall sit record of 12 minutes was broken by Skylar Bard and Reed McIntyre. Skylar Bard completed a 20:05 minute wall sit while Reed McIntyre set the new record at 21 minutes. 6 other students ranged from 6:04-8:05 minutes! Awesome job! 🐾

Landon noticed another peer drop their milk. He then went to get paper towels and helped him clean up the mess!!

Aroma Joes has donated coupons to Mattanawcook Academy to provide to students as a reward. MA staff are on the look out to "Catching Lynx Doing Good"

Way to go Landon!!

In Mrs. Thurlow-Shain’s Physical Management class students attempted the 100 bar squat challenge. Students use a 45 pound bar and squat until their butt hits the weight bench and they need to do this as many times as possible. These four students successfully completed the task with John Vardaros setting a new record and completing it in 1:36! Great job John, Max, Kenai and Vanessa!

Shout out to Aroma Joe's in helping MA celebrate the freshmen and their 98.05% attendance for the month of September. Check out our MA's Facebook page for more pictures.

Today's boy's soccer game has been postponed. A reschedule date will be determined in the next couple of days. Today's practice schedule in the gym will be as follows:
Football 2:30-4:00
Girl's Soccer 4:00-5:30
Boy's Soccer 5:30-7:00

Also, the PVC golf championships at JaTo have been rescheduled for Friday due to the wet weather causing less than ideal course conditions.

Another quick schedule change. Today's field hockey game was originally scheduled for 3:30 because Stearns likes to play their home games at 3:30, but the officials assigned to today's games can't make it to Millinocket by then, so today's field hockey game in Millinocket will start at 4:00 like most of our other games.

Girl's soccer game at MA and golf match at Orono are both ON for this afternoon.

Sorry for the late notice, but when you have 8:00 am practices, there isn't a lot of time before that to look at the weather, make decisions, and update everyone. Golf practice for today is cancelled because of the wet conditions (Coach Libby did tell the team yesterday at the golf tournament to use their best judgment). They will plan to start tomorrow instead.

The Lincoln Police Department is doing a school supply drive for area students on August 4th. Please see the flyer for more information.

Mattanawcook Academy's phone system is now working and accepting calls.

We are experiencing difficulties with our phone system at Mattanawcook Academy. If you need to call the high school for a student in credit recovery, please email Deb McIntyre at dmcintyre@rsu67.org or call Mattanawcook Junior High School at 794-8935. Thank you for your flexibility and understanding.

As of today (Thursday), it looks like we have a schedule for tennis playoffs that is going to work out well, provided the weather holds and the rain on Saturday stays to the south.

Boys quarterfinal vs. Dexter 12:00 Saturday
Girls quarterfinal vs. PCSS 3:30 Monday

Also, JV tennis at Bangor on Saturday has been moved up to a 10:00 am start with the bus leaving at 8:00.

Still trying to find something that will work for tennis...update coming soon.

Baseball and softball will make up their games with Calais at 4:00 on Wednesday at MA.

Baseball and softball scheduled for today (Memorial Day) have been postponed. A decision on tennis and a makeup date for BB/SB will be decided later this morning. Stay tuned for updates.

Today's tennis matches at Schenck will be moved up to a 3:00 start to try to beat the rain. If we get there and get warm-ups done quickly, it could even start a few minutes before 3:00. I don't want parents to go there and be surprised if they start early.
