SUN Bucks will work with Hot Lunch Summer to feed our kids in Maine, this summer SUN Bucks will help families receive $120.00 for each of their school aged children. If eligible, you can use SUN Bucks benefits to buy foods like fruits, vegetables, meat, whole grains, and dairy at grocery stores, farmers markets, and other places that accept EBT benefits.

Your child is eligible for SUN Bucks if your household already participates in SNAP, TANF, FDPIR, or attends a school that offers National School Lunch or School Breakfast Program and your household income meets the requirements for free or reduced-price school meals. Many families will get SUN Bucks automatically if you are getting other benefits, but some families may need to apply for the program.

If your family already participates in SNAP, TANF, FDPIR, or is Homeless, Migrant or receives MaineCare with a verified annual income under 185% of the Federal Poverty Level, your child will be automatically enrolled in the program. If you are not automatically enrolled and believe your children are eligible, you can get a SUN Bucks application, at the above website. You will not need to provide any other documents of information to apply.

Applications must be received by August 15th to qualify SUN Bucks. Please Click Here for more information.

Grade 7 ELA Teacher

How long have you been working for the Brunswick School Department?

I have been working at the school department for 32 years.

What do you enjoy most about working at BSD?

No doubt, it's the people who make this place. I've felt honored to work alongside such caring, dedicated professionals, and I will truly miss my students.

What do you plan to do on your first day of retirement?

After sleeping in, I might go out to breakfast with my husband, go kayaking with a girlfriend, swimming with my grandkids, and end the day by a campfire--planning adventures.

What do you look forward to most in your retirement years?

I'm excited to relax on a beach in Sicily with my husband, go midweek skiing with my grandkids, and have spur-of-the-moment fun with the people I love.

Tell us about one of your most memorable moments while working in Brunswick?

I'll never forget, after two weeks of teaching Reading Camp, when we asked students for feedback. A student wrote to me, "I have never liked reading before, and now I love it. Thank you!"
