Weekend Outdoor Activity
Try This Fun Fall Leaf-Catching Game!
Fall is in full swing, and the leaves are changing fast! Here's a fun outdoor activity to try on a crisp autumn day—perfect for a walk in the park or your own backyard.
The game is simple: see how many falling leaves you can catch before they hit the ground! But there’s a twist… check out these silly (but important!) rules:
You can only catch leaves with one hand
No trapping them against your body—hands only!
You’re allowed to speed walk, but no running!
It sounds easy... until you try it! The leaves swirl and tumble through the air, and you'll find yourself spinning, reaching, and laughing the whole time. It's a great way to enjoy the beauty of fall—and maybe feel a little like a kid again.
So grab a friend, head outside, and see who can catch the most leaves!

Bike/Walk to School at HBS!
What a fantastic Bike/Walk to School Day we had at Harriet Beecher Stowe School earlier this week. It was wonderful seeing so many of our students and families choose an active way to start the day. Whether they were walking, biking, or even riding a skateboard, everyone arrived with smiles and energy!
A huge thank you goes out to our incredible volunteers who helped make the morning trek safe and fun, and to our dedicated crossing guard for keeping a watchful eye as we crossed the road.
The excitement didn't stop there! Beecher Bob, our wonderful school mascot, was also on hand to give out high-fives and greet students as they came in. We're already looking forward to our next one!
Mark your calendars—the next Walk & Bike to School Day will be on Wednesday, November 5th! #maineschoolsuperintendent #teambrunswickme
