PRINCIPAL'S MESSAGE
Good afternoon,
I wanted to share that the kids did an amazing job taking the NWEA. While we do not have scores yet, they were focused and took their time. Fall and spring seem to be times when you are bombarded with information, requests and surveys. So I am simply going to say thank you for sending us an amazing group of kids.
In the spring, we ask that current 2nd, 3rd and 4th grade Parent/Guardians complete the TRANSPORTATION SURVEY for the 2025/2026 school year. We DO NOT carry forward transportation plans from year to year. This information is collected now so we can plan for next year accordingly. Please complete this form by June 6, so that we know how your student will get to/from Fisher Mitchell next year.
If you have more than one student attending Fisher Mitchell, please complete one survey for each student.
Current 5th grade Parents/Guardians will receive a similar request from Bath Middle School. Please DO NOT complete the Fisher Mitchell survey.
If your student's transportation plans change after completing this form, please notify Holly Spence at hspence@rsu1.org.
-Ross

HANNAFORD HELPS SCHOOLS
We are partnering with Hannaford Grocery Stores for the Hannaford Helps Schools program, running from March 16 to June 7! Through this program, shoppers will earn 3 School Dollars for every 4 participating products purchased. At checkout, customers will receive a School Dollar printout they can redeem online to donate to any school in this program.
To redeem School Dollars, all shoppers need to do is enter the unique printout code and store number on the Hannaford Helps Schools program website and select their school. Each School Dollar printout has a QR code that will bring shoppers directly to this link, ensuring that redeeming School Dollars is as easy as possible.
Shaw's selects Fisher-Mitchell Elementary to benefit in June 2025
We are excited to share that Shaw’s has selected Fisher Mitchell to benefit from the GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS Reusable Bag Program throughout June. The Shaw’s GIVE BACK WHERE IT COUNTS Reusable Bag Program makes it easy for shoppers to contribute to their local communities.
Every time a $3 reusable GIVE BACK Bag is purchased at the Shaw’s located at Shaw's, 1 Chandler Drive, Bath ME in June, $1 will be donated to us!
Let’s get started! Share the news with friends and family. Call, send emails, and post on social media. The more people who purchase a GIVE BACK Bag in June, the greater the donation we will receive from Shaw’s!
As we wrap up another school year, we’re reflecting on what the PTA has made possible this year because of YOUR support. From books to events and school-wide celebrations, we're thankful for the community's support in making this school year so successful. Make sure to check our Facebook posts daily, as we look back on the highlights of past PTA events.
