What an incredible first week it has been! Walking through our schools, I’ve seen so many smiles from students, staff, and families; it truly feels like the year is off to a fantastic start.
Our teachers are energized and welcoming, and our students have jumped right back into learning with excitement. I want to thank our families for their patience and support as we transition back into the school routine, and our staff for their hard work in creating such a positive start.
It’s inspiring to see our community come together to make sure every child feels safe, cared for, and ready to learn. With this momentum, I’m confident we are set for an amazing school year ahead.
Thank you for being an essential part of the Brunswick School Department!
Let’s keep the joy and teamwork going strong!
Sincerely,
Superintendent Potenziano

You can support BSD's partnership with Maine Coast Fishermen's Association to provide more local seafood into schools by dining at Noble Bar during the month of September and sample the very same Maine Coast Monkfish Stew that your students are tasting in their cafeterias!

What do you like to do outside of work for fun?
I love spending quality time with family at home. You can often find me swimming at the y, walking my pups, feeding the birds, dining out in Brunswick, visiting the library and getting lost in a tricky jigsaw puzzle.

What is something you learned in the last week?
I recently learned that when you want to laminate many items in one sheet you can put a dab of stick glue to the back of the image and stick it to the inside sheet - that way it doesn’t shift when you feed it into the machine! #themoreyouknow
