It is with great excitement and pride that we announce the recipients of the Model Mustang Staff Award for the month of January! This award is a tribute to those outstanding individuals who embody the qualities of a true “Model Mustang”; they inspire, lead, foster positivity, persevere, and excel in all that they do. Each Model Mustang was nominated by colleagues who took the time to acknowledge and celebrate their coworkers’ exceptional contributions to our district. Their hard work and commitment have not gone unnoticed, and we are grateful for the positive impact they have within RSU 57! Click the link to view January's Model Mustang Award recipients.

During the week before Holiday Break, Waterboro Elementary students participated in an "Art and P.E. Week" put on by Ms. Amy Nucci (Art) and Ms. Samantha Person (P.E.).
