KEEP MANSFIELD BEAUTIFUL

Thank you to all the students and adult volunteers who came out in the rain to clean up approx. 10 bags of trash around QMS, the HS, and along Rt 106.

250 PARADE – May 17th, 2025

Turned out to be a great day for a parade. Weather was perfect for marching. Lots of videos of the band marching and playing along with a number of stills posted to our Facebook page. Certainly was a huge undertaking by the parade committee and we were glad to be a part of it. Thank you to all our alumni who came out to march with us.

BAND CAMP

25/26 band camp will be from August 11th through August 16th and the expectation for MB students is that they are there for all of it.
