August 2008

As Principal of Medomak Middle School, it is my pleasure to welcome all members of the SAD 40 school community to our beautiful new school.  Our opening this fall is the culmination of a tremendous amount of effort by many, many people and most importantly, the support of the voters of SAD 40 who approved this project.

As part of this welcome, I would like to introduce some key members of our staff that will be here to serve the public.  In addition to myself, and Bob England, our Assistant Principal, our main office will be coordinated by administrative assistants Candy Starr and Jenni Brooks. When you call or visit MMS, either Candy or Jenni will field your calls and direct you to the person you wish to speak to. Our head custodian is Kim Wellman and our head cook is Stormie Hendrickson. If you have any questions, please feel free to stop in, or call us at 832-5028.

Another important piece of information for you is our upcoming events that showcase our new school. On Thursday, September 4 from 5-7p.m., there will be a public open house to give everyone the chance to see the school. At 5 p.m., the Superintendent and I will welcome everyone, and then the school will be open for all to view. On Tuesday, September 23, we will have our open house for students and parents to come, enjoy a meal if they choose, and visit with their child's teachers. There will be more specific information regarding this open house in our newsletters next month. Finally, I would urge any that are interested to come out and support our River Hawks this fall during cross country races or soccer games. Our fall schedules are available in the office and on our website.

It is an honor for me to serve as Principal of Medomak Middle School. If you have any questions or comments at any time, don't hesitate to call.  We look forward to seeing you this year!
