Dear Mullen-Hall Families,
Welcome Spring! Longer days and warmer weather will be coming our way. Leprechauns were seen, but none were caught! Shenanigans everywhere!
Friendly reminder, please send your student in with a water bottle each day, we have multiple filling stations throughout the school to keep them hydrated! Please label the bottle.
Congratulations to Mrs. Bushey, Langmead, & Coon’s classes on completing the most amount of math facts so far as we continue to march to a million! 2 more weeks to go. . . .keep up the good work!!!
Grade 3 and 4 MCAS preparation has begun and the dates have been determined. ELA will be April 4th -5th, makeups are April 6th. Math MCAS will take place May 10th-11th, makeups are May 12th. Chromebooks will not go home that week as they will be needed for MCAS testing. Chargers should be sent into school for this week.
In order to alleviate confusion for the YMCA drop off and band drop off there is a NEW procedure for band drop off. All band students will enter by the front main door. Please ring to be buzzed in. Thank you for your support.

POSTER CONTEST
There is an awesome opportunity for students K-12 to submit an original poster that creatively depicts the history and importance of protecting the planet and the ocean from the impact of shipping by recognizing the importance of the MARPOL Convention (International Convention for the Prevention of Pollution from Ships). The theme reflects the International Maritime Organization’s (IMO) 2023 World Maritime Day Theme. Students are asked to submit an original artwork that is based on the Torrey Canyon oil spill in 1967, the largest oil disaster at the time. It was one of the key moments that led to the development of the MARPOL Convention, in force since 1973. Today, MARPOL helps prevent pollution of the sea by:
-
MARPOL Annex I oil,
-
MARPOL Annex II- noxious liquid substances in bulk,
-
MARPOL Annex III- harmful substances in packaged form,
-
MARPOL Annex IV sewage
-
MARPOL Annex V garbage from ships, and
-
MARPOL Annex VI air pollution from ship emissions, and regulation of energy efficiency.
Here is the link for submissions: Art Contest - NAMEPA and I would love to get the word out to the Falmouth schools students.
