AP Government field trip to State House:       

The best place to learn about government is where it happens: in the State House.  MEF sent Mrs. Story’s AP Government students to the Massachusetts State House to meet their reps and learn how to advocate for issues important to them.

Biopsychology Students to Boston University  :

Oh, the things they will learn!  Masconomet Educational Foundation funded a field trip for Masco psychology students to visit Boston University Medical School’s Neurobiology Lab.  The students heard a college lecture and toured the facilities.

Mass State DECA Competition:

Masco’s DECA business-education program has grown in leaps and bounds

since it started three years ago.  This year over 60 students qualified for the state conference, and Masconomet Education Foundation supported their trip to Boston.  13 students placed in the Top 10 in their categories, and 6 Masco student placed in the Top 5 in their categories, qualifying for the International DECA competition in April.  Well done!

EMT Classes:

The CPR Mannikins and Stop the Bleed Kits that MEF purchased for Masco’s EMT classes are helping our kids learn to save lives.

French/AP Art Field Trip to MFA:

Fifth-year French students are assigned a research project on French artists and their works.  What better way to study this artwork than to see them in person, and the Museum of Fine Arts.  Masconomet Education Foundation funded this field trip for French students and AP Art students to travel to the MFA and study the French Masters.
