The Fruit Scoop!

As the holiday season, I want to take a moment to thank each and every one of you for your hard work, support, and dedication throughout the year. It has been a wonderful time watching our students grow, learn, and create lasting memories. I hope you find time to relax and enjoy the holidays with your loved ones, filled with joy, warmth, and peace. May this season bring happiness to your home, and I look forward to another exciting year of learning and growing together in the new year! Happy Holidays to all!

Please remember to dress your child or children appropriately for morning and lunch recess. We do keep on hand a few items of winter gear when children forget their gear at home.

If weather conditions cause the cancellation of school, it will be announced on the Bangor App, email, phone and media outlets.
