The Feathered Flyer Update

This is the perfect time to get outside and take in the beauty of Maine in the Fall. As the leaves change, take some time to relax and enjoy this beautiful time of year. There is nothing like warm donuts and hot apple cider after a day in a corn maze or picking apples.

There is a lot going on in a our greater community, scroll down to see just a glimpse of what is happening.

"Reputation Matters!"

Second Graders are discovering what it means to be "Super Citizens." They have defined "reputation" and have been working to demonstrate our school rules (Be Respectful, Be Responsible, Be Safe, Try Hard) when they are out and about around the school. This is what it means to be a good citizen and grow your reputation. Whenever a staff member, who is not myself, gives the whole class a compliment, the class gets to put a warm fuzzy in the compliment jar. When 13 compliments are in the jar, the class earns a celebration. The class earned 13 compliments in the first 15 days of school!!! They will be having a "Plushie Day" on Friday, October 3rd. Keep up the great citizenship, Second Grade!

We would like to bring LCTV to Edgecomb Elementary School. This is a great opportunity for our students, but comes at a cost. Please consider making a donation to Edgecomb Eddy School to help fund this opportunity or click on the clink, Fundraising, and make a donation.

1. Attend Open House on Oct. 1
2. Attend PTC Oct 6., at 1:45 in the Conference room at EES

We have very limited space here at EES, the space that we do have, is full. Therefore if we need clothing, we will send out a mass communication with specific sizes.

We would like to thank you ahead of time for dropping snacks and other goodies off for our school and classrooms. This year, we are asking that if you are dropping off snacks or other goods for classrooms, to please label the classroom the supplies are to go to and leave it in the lobby. For securing the safety of the building, we are asking that parents and community members no longer walk to classrooms to drop items off but rather to leave items in the lobby.

Parents and guardians are always able to set up an appointment to meet with their child's teachers to talk more about their child's' learning and any concerns you may have.

October - June PTC Meetings are on the 1st Tuesday of the Month

UPDATE!!! We are trying something different this month. We would like to invite you, parents/guardians, to come into the school to have a face to face meeting. Please join us on Oct. 6 at 1:45 in the conference room. The meeting will end in time for you to pick up your student(s)

Rest of the year, recurring "the first Tuesday" link:

I am assuming, and maybe I am being a bit presumptuous, but I believe many of you (parents) and I are about the same age, give or take. If you are anything like me, I LOVED the Magic School Bus growing up and wished that they had made more episodes. I have posted the video below for the students of course....but also, maybe for you as well :)

Its time to bake! Enjoy cooking at home as a family with this delicious recipe

Ginger Gold Apple Crisp

• 6 Ginger Gold apples
• 1 1/2 cups rolled oats
• 3/4 cup brown sugar
• 1/4 cup all-purpose flour
• 1 tsp cinnamon
• 1/4 tsp nutmeg
• 1/4 tsp salt
• 1/2 cup butter (1 stick), softened
• Whipped cream or ice cream

Peel the apples. Heat oven to 375 degrees and lightly butter an 8 or 9-inch-square baking pan. Peel, core, and slice the apples and arrange them evenly in the prepared pan.

Place the oats, brown sugar, flour, spices, and salt in a sealable plastic bag, close, and shake until combined. Cut the softened butter into 1-inch pieces and add to the oat mixture. Close the bag again and knead or squeeze until the mixture holds together.

Instead of using a bowl to mix the crumb topping, use a sealable plastic bag. This will cut back on dirty dishes and let young bakers–even preschoolers–lend a hand.

Open the bag and crumble the topping evenly over the apples. Bake the apple crisp for 40 to 45 minutes or until the topping is golden brown and the juices begin to bubble around the edges. Cool slightly, then serve with whipped cream or ice cream.
