Family Fun Night
Join us Wednesday, January 22nd from 6:00-7:30pm for a pizza dinner and a fun night of activities.  Explore a variety of educational games and activities.  Feel free to drop in and leave at any time. There will be ongoing activities that you can participate in whenever you arrive.  Pizza will be offered for $2/slice and $1 for a bottle of water.  We look forward to seeing you there.   

Snow Day Lunch Info/AnnouncementsIn the event of additional snow days this winter, we want to let parents know how the district deals with hot lunches the following day. There is no rule of thumb when determining the lunch menu on the day following a snow day as the menu for that day is dependent upon what was on the menu the day of the snow day, what prep the kitchen had to do, and what fresh produce the kitchen had ordered. Therefore, our district’s Food Service Director (Emily Murphy) provides an announcement on the SAU’s website (www.sau25.net) in the District News box, which will detail, by school, what the hot lunch offering will be the day following the snow day. This information will be available the day of the snow day.

MINDFULNESS AND STRESS MANAGEMENT SEMINAR: Tuesday, January 14th, 7:00 p.m. at McKelvie, for parents of children in Grades K-6. Come learn about the benefits of Mindfulness including increased focus for learning and stress management for life. Terri Hamilton, a Mindfulness & Stress Management Coach and former teacher and Guidance Counselor, will be sharing her expertise.
