The M.L. Day Pride Report
October 17, 2025
Dear Friends and Families of MLD,
It was such a pleasure to attend last night’s PTO meeting, which was very well attended and filled with great energy! We were joined by Superintendent Grimm, who stopped by to share his appreciation for the work happening here at MLD and answer questions about the budget and projected future growth of our school. The PTO also provided exciting updates on all the wonderful events and initiatives they have planned to support our students and staff this year.
During my Principal’s Report, I had the opportunity to recognize the dedicated staff members across RSU 21 who have been working on a grant to secure funding for the expansion of our Unified Sports program, as well as the introduction of new SEL (Social Emotional Learning) content that teachers will begin training on in early November.
I’m also thrilled to share that our MLD Band program officially launches next week—and we have 15 students signed up to learn to play instruments! That number is double what we had last year, and it’s so exciting to see our music program continuing to grow.
I encourage all families to consider getting involved with our PTO. This is a wonderful group of parents who help make so much possible at MLD. Each month, I share a brief report and updates from the school—it’s a great opportunity to ask questions, learn more about what’s happening, and connect with others who care deeply about our students’ success.
As we head into the weekend, it looks like we’ll be treated to some beautiful fall weather—perfect for getting outside, recharging, and enjoying the season. Wishing everyone a relaxing and sunny weekend ahead!
With gratitude,
Principal Keith
