Fisher Mitchell was overwhelmed with appreciation this week! Thank you to our families and the wonderful Bath Elementary PTA. The time that went into the notes and signs that accompanied each day did not go unnoticed. The trail mix bar allowed staff members to create their own bag of trail mix; the succulents on Tuesday, breakfast on Wednesday, taco bar on Thursday and donuts on Friday were all fun, creative and thoughtful treats! All week, students arrived with notes, supplies, treats and apples. To see them arrive with seeds, flowers, and potted plants today was more than the icing on the cake. It was beautiful! Thank you.

Could Your Child Benefit from Mentoring?

When it comes to our children's future, we’re in this together. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bath/Brunswick pairs screened positive mentors with youth to create a community where all children achieve success.

We offer school-based mentoring, in which your child is matched with a trained adult volunteer who meets with them weekly at their school for lunch and recess.

We also offer community-based mentoring, in which your child and their Big meet to do fun things together on a schedule that works for them.

All our programs are free!

Contact Ms. DeRosa sderosa@rsu1.org for more information or visit bbbsbathbrunswick.org.
