Principal Greeting
Moultonborough Academy Community-
We have reached the beginning of Quarter 2 for the 2026-2027 school year, and it's hard to believe we are already here. The end of the fall sports season is near as the Inter-Lakes/Moultonborough Academy football team play in the semifinals this Saturday at 12 pm at Inter-Lakes Middle/High School. Good luck to our players! In addition, the play season is among us as the Queens performances are next week: November 19-21.
Advisory period on Mondays has been active with our offerings for grades 9-12. Students are getting a variety of lessons for Character Strong, Portrait of a Learner, College and Career Readiness, and Xello (College and Career Platform). Also, the entire community celebrates with community days and assemblies during advisory sessions.
Attendance is an important topic when discussing a student's day-to-day routines and successes. Please make sure students are attending school regularly and making it to school on time for their classes.
In the past, students did not have school the Wednesday before Thanksgiving; however, this year MA is in session for a half day on Wednesday, November 25 (Early Release).
I hope you all have a great month!
Respectfully,
Ryan Gilpatrick
Principal

Queens
On behalf of the Performing Panthers, we invite you to our upcoming Fall theatre production of Kristen Doherty's Queens:
- King Henry VIII is trapped in purgatory, bound to his throne by a sinister Fool and the ghostly Women in White. Here in his gilded cage, he is forced to relive the sins he committed against his queens, mistresses and people of the court, over and over again, for an eternity. This moving dramatic piece examines the weight of power, grief, and historical memory.
Performed by students in grades 6–12 under the direction of Meredith C. Brown, the show features live music composed and performed by Harmony and Ava Markey.
Performances will be November 19, 20, and 21 at 7pm and November 20th at 2pm in the Moultonborough Community Auditorium. Admission is $5.
MA Booster Club
We are excited to kick off the first sports awards with a team feed. We will be requesting donations for our "build your own sub" night. We can't wait to see everyone to celebrate the accomplishments of our athletes!
Also coming up is the annual Moultonborough Community Holiday Fair! We invite everyone to join us on Dec. 5th from 9-2. Santa will be there, vendors, local non-profits, food, and more!
We can't pull off the event alone, and we are looking for volunteers. The link to help is below, and students can earn hours towards their community service hours for graduation requirements.
