We are getting excited for our middle school ice fishing trip on February 16th! We are currently looking for chaperones or adults experienced in ice fishing to help out! Please reach out to Mr. Wilcox if interested!
The Maine Department of Education is challenging us once again. It's called the Read to ME Challenge and does not require anything to be sent into school. It does "require" reading 15 minutes a day with your child. See the description below with the link included. We hope to see some captured moments of reading at home!
"The Read to ME Challenge is intended to bolster enjoyment in reading and to support children’s literacy growth by challenging adults to read to and/or with children for at least 15 minutes during the month of February. Challenge readers are invited to capture the moment via a photo or a video to post on social media platforms such as Facebook, Instagram, and Twitter with the hashtag #ReadtoME."
