Dear RSU 57 Community.
Due to a forecast of continued inclement weather throughout the evening and into the morning hours, combined with power outages encompassing the majority of our 6 communities, all RSU 57 schools and offices will be closed on Friday April 5. RSU 57 Operations staff are asked to check with their supervisor regarding their schedule. With this snow day, the final day for students in RSU 57 is now Wednesday June 12. We are hoping all our students, staff and families remain safe throughout this storm.
Due to the likelihood of challenging travel conditions this evening, all after school activities and athletics at MHS and MMS are cancelled for today April 3. Additionally, all campus buildings and spaces will be closed to outside groups for use this evening after 4:30pm. An announcement regarding tomorrow's school day will be forthcoming.
Alfred Elementary first grade students displayed their animal research and habitat dioramas during a museum walk this week. Our first graders worked exceptionally hard in researching, building, and crafting their animals and habitats.
First students chose an animal of interest, then researched specific facts about the animal including their habitat, adaptations, life cycle, and fun facts. Next students painted and decorated their shoebox dioramas. Afterwards, students used clay to create a model of their animal for their habitat. It was extremely rewarding for our first graders to present their exhibits and knowledge to others. We are so proud of all their hard work!
CALLING ALL LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS AND EMPLOYERS!
As part of RSU 57's newly-implemented Strategic Plan, the School Board of Directors Curriculum Committee is seeking to "deepen school and community connections by developing strong community partnerships". We would therefore like to invite local civic and industry leaders to the upcoming RSU 57 Community Forum on Tuesday, April 9 at 7pm at the MHS East Training Center. We will engage in meaningful discussions about preparing students for success post-graduation and review what workforce skills and dispositions are needed in today's job market.
We hope to see you there!

Grades 3-5 students at Alfred Elementary School participated in an Appreciation Assembly earlier this month!! We talked about what appreciation is, learned a fun song and dance to remind us to appreciate each other and make posters as a group to show appreciation for all adults in our building. This was a good reminder for all of us to show appreciation for others more often.

Students in grades 3-5 at Alfred Elementary School celebrated Pi Day earlier this month by participating in different pi day activities. Students created a Pi Day skyline art project, listened to the story Sir Cumference and the First Round Round Table and completed math puzzles to learn more about the number Pi. Lastly, everybody got a piece of pie!!
