Deputy Pellerin grew up in Saco and graduated high school at Thornton Academy. He attended USM and started with the Saco Police Department in 2001. In 2003 he was selected to be the School Resource Officer (SRO) at Thornton Academy. In 2005 he started with the Scarborough Police Department and was selected to be the SRO at the Middle School in 2009. Deputy Pellerin remained the SRO in Scarborough until his retirement in June of 2023. During his time in the schools, Deputy Pellerin was a DARE Officer and created a Law Enforcement Club aimed at middle school students interested in Law Enforcement.

Deputy Pellerin is excited to be the new SRO for RSU 57. He brings his training and years of experience to this position. He is looking forward to becoming part of the community and building connections with the staff and students in the district.

The Student Council members showed commitment and enthusiasm in planning and executing the Veterans Dinner, impressing the veterans with their efforts. The event brought the school community together to express gratitude to the servicemen and women, fostering unity and appreciation. I commend the Student Council for embodying a spirit of service and civic responsibility, and I'm proud of their leadership and teamwork skills, shaping our school's culture.

Students in 7th grade Science have been studying about changes that can occur to Earth's surface. To wrap up their unit, students selected and researched national parks and wrote letters to park rangers to share what they had learned and questions they had pertaining to weathering, erosion, deposition, and geological formations found in their park. Our students have been enjoying getting letters back from their parks!
