The Waterville Musical Production is coming up quickly!
The shows will take place on March 10, 11 and 12; all shows are at 7pm.
Tickets are currently on sale at the Waterville Public Library for $7 (reserved seating).
Students in grades 7-12 have been working on this show since December, and we are so excited to have
our first show since the shutdown two years ago! Curtains: School Edition is a hilarious murder mystery about a
theatre troupe trying to put on their new musical (Robbin’ Hood! A New Musical of the Old West),
when their absolutely terrible leading lady is murdered onstage during the opening night performance.
Can Lieutenant Frank Cioffi solve the mystery, fix the show, and possibly sing a love song along the way?
On Wednesday, March 2nd, Senior High Student Council is hosting the All-Star Cole Circus at 6:30pm.
After a year of not having the circus, we are so excited to have them back at Waterville.
Pre-sale tickets are $10 for adults, and up to two students are free with that purchase.
If interested in purchasing a ticket, please see a Student Council member or contact
Kate Worwa kworwa@watervillecsd.org. Order forms are also being sent home with all MPS students.
Money can be sent in to the classroom teacher and tickets will then be sent home on 3/1 and 3/2.
Good afternoon everyone,
I am excited to announce the addition of a new program at the Jr./Sr. High School!
Beginning in March, the Jr./Sr. High will begin hosting a weekly, community-supported
mentoring program for students in Grades 7 through 9. The program is being offered by the district in
coordination with our partner, Connected Community Schools. Ryan Palmer and Miranda Stockbridge of
Connected Community Schools will serve as program coordinators. I am very much looking forward to the
positive impact this program will have on our students, but we need YOU to make this program a success!
If you can picture yourself as a mentor, we ask that you
sign up at the following link: https://nysmentoringprogram.ny.gov/signUp
Additional Details:
The program will begin on Tuesday, March 8 and run until Tuesday, June 21.
Mentoring sessions will occur weekly on Tuesday afternoons from 3:00 until 4:00.

Training times are flexible and all costs are covered by the NYS Mentoring Program.

We love the way you all spun your own version of a fairy tale adventure on Saturday
during National Tell a Fairy Tale day! Seeing the library bustle with life is magic in itself
that we don’t take for granted! March special invitations to play are on on deck.
As always thanks for sharing your pictures too!
We hope all those library animals on sleepovers out there are behaving too!
