Morse High School JMG

Congratulations to the Class of 2023!

Thank you to all of our supporters-family members, friends, faculty, and business partners--for joining the 2023 Closing Celebration last night.

On Thursday, April 27th Morse HS/Bath Tech hosted a Hiring Fair for all students. 20 area businesses participated in the event to share and discuss their employment opportunities with students. It was a great opportunity for students to interact with employers and discuss opportunities. The student engagement was impressive and met our expectations. Several employers had lined up at least 2-3 students for potential employment. One employer mentioned how impressed she was by the “respectful and professional conduct of our students.” We appreciate the students' participation, as well as our community business partners who attended to make this event successful. -JMG & ELO

Our first field trip in 26 months was an amazing day of learning from and networking with entrepreneurs at the Roux Institute at Northeastern University.

JMG junior and senior students are engaged in a pilot project on entrepreneurship with Thomas College. Last week the junior/senior students shared their entrepreneurial ideas and visions for their own entrepreneurship with our local entrepreneurs. Thank you to our incredible community of supporters who took the time to listen to the students' ideas and provide critical feedback that will help the students grow their idea into a business plan.

JMG students at Morse High School wanted to honor our military personnel this holiday season. Students made over 120 paracord survival bracelets and assembled care packages for a deployed Maine Army National Guard unit. We also want to thank Specialist Michael Foss (a Freeport High School JMG Alumni) for joining us for one of our gift-making sessions.

In keeping with the Six-Word Transition Story theme this week, here is another student's story paired with an original photograph.

Another six-word story from a JMG senior about transitions . . .

This week students are creating six (-ish) word stories about transitions. We will be sharing these over the next week. Here is the first.

The cereal didn't pour in this morning, it rolled in! Custodian Dave donated 82 boxes of cereal to the drive which will benefit Bath Area Food Bank. This raises our total collection to 434 boxes. Keep it coming! Our goal is getting closer and closer. Donations may be dropped off Morse High School, Mail It 4 U, and Coastal Glass.

The cereal keeps pouring in! We are at 332 boxes and counting. Thank you to our generous community for supporting the Bath Area Food Bank. We still have a ways to go to reach our goal of 1000 boxes. If you would like to contribute, you may drop off Mail It 4 U, Morse High School, or Coastal Glass.

Thank you, friends and supporters! The cereal is pouring in. Keep it coming. You can drop off your cereal at Mail It 4 U in Bath, Coastal Glass in Bath, or Morse High School. Our goal is to beat Gardiner High School's collection of 1466 boxes.

Hello Morse JMG supporters! JMG at Gardiner High School has challenged us to collect 1000 boxes of cereal to benefit the Bath Area Food Bank this month. Why cereal? It is a much-needed food item for all food banks. If you would like to support this effort, let us know!

COVID can't stop Morse JMG students from shining! Stay tuned for more news on event winners!

Thank you to Sara of Camden National Bank for her virtual visit to discuss banking.

We are unpacking and setting up our new home at 826 Shipbuilders Drive. The number one priority this morning was to get our CDC trophies on display!

Continuing our promotion of the Sustainable Development Goals today we feature this student work for SDG #15~Life on Land.

Students engaged in a little friendly competition by designing reusable water bottles as a way to promote the 5-2-1-0 Let's Go! campaign and the UN Sustainable Development Goals (SDG). Reusable water bottles address the Life on Land, Life Below Water, and Responsible Use and Consumption goals while supporting Good Health and Well-Being. One of the goals of the Let's Campaign is to consume zero sugary drinks and replace them with water and milk. Thank you to Mid Coast Hospital and 5-2-1-0 Let's Go! for the funds to support this endeavor. Pictured below is the winning design of the water bottles. The water bottles are available free of charge for a student in need.

Have you heard of the United Nation's Sustainable Development Goals (SDG)? JMG students at Morse High School just wrapped up a unit studying the SDGs and created advertising materials using the principles of social marketing. Over the next several days we will share some of the completed projects. The first is an ad for SDG #6 Clean Water and Sanitation.

Socially distant teambuilding goes digital. Students worked collaboratively to complete a digital jigsaw puzzle of the JMG logo. They learned the importance of creating a plan to achieve a common goal. During the debrief portion they discovered that just like a jigsaw puzzle we, as individuals, are made up of many different pieces that make us who we are.
