MSSM was happy to welcome WAGM-TV to campus yesterday as they filmed a segment for their Discover Aroostook series. Their team spent time talking with MSSM students and staff about our school, our community, and what makes the experience here unique. We’re looking forward to seeing the finished story when it airs in September, and we’ll be sure to share links when it becomes available.

WAGM also came bearing gifts from their previous filming stop. Taste Of Maine Potato Chips sent along several bags for us to enjoy. We already love their chips, and we’re especially proud that they are made right here in Limestone. We’re hoping to have some small bags available for visitors at our upcoming Open Houses, too.

Thank you to WAGM-TV for spending part of the day with us, and to Taste of Maine Potato Chips for the very tasty surprise. We can't wait to see the Discover Aroostook series.

The Residential Assistants are getting moved in, but took a break for a cookout put on by the Student Life Staff. They’re getting the dorm ready for all the new students coming in tomorrow. There’s a buzz around campus and everyone is excited for the new year.

Congratulations to rising senior Easton Allen for winning the narrative category at the Maine Student Film & Video Festival for his film “Yellow.” The student festival is part of the Maine International Film Festival in Waterville, Maine. The film follows a first-year student’s arrival at a boarding school. Over time, he grows homesick and depressed in isolation, evident by a darkening gray tint in his skin. Luckily, an upperclassman notices him. Yellow explores themes of independence, mental health, and empathy. The dynamic colors are accompanied by an original score that Easton composed with the guidance of music instructor Brett Vanderlaan over an independent study last semester.

To celebrate the 250th anniversary of the United States, we were going to say that everything in the Penguin Emporium store is 250% off. Then someone checked the math.

So let’s try that again:

All school store apparel is 25% off now, getting up to 95% off at the end of the month. (See what we did there?) There's not much left since we are moving to a print-on-demand service and have not reordered recently, but what we have must go.

Still a great deal. Still much better math.

MSSM welcomed more than 50 alumni back to campus for the school’s 30th Reunion.

The gathering brought together alumni from across MSSM’s history, with nearly every graduating class represented. Guests spent the day reconnecting with classmates, catching up with friends, and enjoying food prepared by FLIK Dining Services.

Many alumni also had the chance to sit down with Ryan Shepheard ’98, who is creating a documentary about the history of MSSM. Their stories, memories, and reflections will help capture the people and moments that have shaped the school over the past 30 years.

Thank you to everyone who returned to campus and helped make the reunion a meaningful celebration of MSSM’s past, present, and future.
