I'm looking forward to tonight's PTA family fun night! I hope that many families will be able to join us. Our band students have been working very hard learning and practicing their music pieces. Thank you to Ms. Michaud for the extra work she put in helping the students prepare. The grill is ready, the lawn games are here, all that we need is YOU!

I can't believe that this is the last LOG for the month of April. As we know, things at school really pick up in the month of May. Our third, fourth and fifth grade students will be taking the spring round of the Maine Through Year Assessment. Additionally, fifth grade students will take the MEA Science assessment. We will have presentations, assemblies, field trips and our concert-all in May. Be sure to watch the log carefully so you don't miss a thing.

The proposed budget for the 2024-25 fiscal year is included here: LINK
