The Snow Forecast #6

We have had a wonderful first quarter of school! Students and staff have worked hard to establish routines, build relationships, and create positive learning environments. It has been exciting to see students grow, learn, and make so much progress already. Thank you to our staff for all of their hard work and dedication in making the first quarter such a success!

We are looking forward to all that the rest of the school year will bring!

On our October Early Release Day, students celebrated Maine Apple Crunch Day! It was a fun-filled afternoon with a variety of apple-themed activities for everyone to enjoy.

Students participated in an apple tasting, trying four different varieties and voting for their favorite. They also put their creativity and problem-solving skills to work during a STEM challenge, using various materials to design a holder that could hold as many apples as possible without them falling out. Students created apple-themed art projects and got some exercise by participating in Mileage Club.

To finish the celebration, we all headed outside and crunched our apples together at the same time!

It was a wonderful afternoon filled with learning, creativity, teamwork, and, of course, lots of apples! Our students had a great time celebrating Maine Apple Crunch Day!
