MTHS - We did it, Mustangs! Our school community rallied together and collected an incredible 2,266 food items this week! Because of your generosity, we created 40 family baskets and still had plenty of surplus items to donate to the Montville Food Pantry. A huge thanks to our amazing students and staff for supporting the Key Club Food Drive and for making a true difference this holiday season.

MTHS - Yesterday Mrs. Nord and our 18–21 ACCE students stepped in to help teachers who didn’t have time to complete their food-drive shopping—and they did an incredible job! They researched pantry needs, compared prices, and worked together to make the most of the donated funds. Their efforts will provide 30 containers of shelf-stable milk, 16 jars of peanut butter, and 16 jars of jelly for families in our community. Building real-world skills + making a community impact = a major win!

MTHS - Mrs. Einstein's Research in Molecular Biology students perform an overnight inoculation of their E.coli cDNA clones from Rutgers University.
