Today, May 2nd is School Lunch Heroes Day!
When we say school nutrition professionals are heroes, we mean it! That’s why we celebrate them every spring with the annual School Lunch Hero Day.
Join schools across the country that are recognizing the difference these team members make for every child who comes through their cafeteria.
Every day, dedicated school nutrition professionals ensure that students are well-fed and ready to learn. School Lunch Hero Day (May 2, 2025) is a special opportunity to recognize their hard work and dedication.

Did you know that when school is closed for breaks and at the end of the school year, Brunswick School Department donates any milk that will expire before students can use it again along with any produce or other food items that will not last or be useable to the Midcoast Hunger Prevention Program! Our School Lunch Heroes work hard to keep waste at a minimum. It's great to know that food we are unable to save goes to a good cause.
We’re approaching the final stages of the budget review cycle. On April 28, the Town Council held a public hearing to discuss both the School and Town Budgets. You can review the full District Budget Book here.
The next step is for the Town Council to vote on and adopt the final budget on May 15.

Mary Moore
School Counselor - Brunswick High School
What do you do at the Brunswick School Department?
I have worn many hats during my time at BHS. These include school counselor, counseling department head, college planning teacher, Yearbook and Key Club advisors, Blood Drive coordinator, test coordinator, Region #10 and Adult Ed liaison, to name a few. The “hat” I have liked best, however, has no title or job description. It is simply the “hat” that we all wear every day as we take care of students, encounter the expected and unexpected and deal with things both easy and not so easy…a “hat” for all occasions!!!
How long have you been with BSD?
43 years
What do you enjoy most about working at BSD?
It has been a gift to me to have had the privilege of working with so many families and students over these past 43 years as well as with the teachers and staff. I love that no day is the same, that my students bring with them their own unique story and I get to be a small part of that time in their lives. It has been awesome to have them come back and share their stories after graduation, to work with some of them again as parents and likewise to have the privilege of working with others as colleagues.
What do you plan to do on your first day of retirement?
Sleep past 6:00 a.m. and hang out in my garden with a good book.
What do you look forward to most in your retirement years?
I am looking forward to having the time to pursue interests and activities that are not “locked” into a school schedule. Many wonderful adventures are out there just waiting for me to begin, some I know and some are yet to be discovered……spending more time with family and friends, traveling, expanding my flower gardens, picking up golf again, and simply appreciating and enjoying each day as it comes.
Tell us about one of your most memorable moments while working in Brunswick.
So many memories over the years, no single one stands out…..more often there are small and quiet moments of joy, of celebration. As an educator, whatever your role, you hope that your presence has made a difference and we are fortunate at BHS to have (and have had) so many dedicated teachers and staff. I hope I may count myself among those individuals.
