5th grade students at Lyman Elementary had some really cool book projects on display. Mrs. Richards class did Book Buffets where students had to divided the project into 5 sections, character, Introduction, setting, plot/summary, and your opinion of the book. Mrs. Marines class did Pizza Book Projects and each "pizza" was divided into 8 slices that highlighted the theme, characters, setting, conflict, rising action, climax, what they would change if they were the author and favorite part. Direct quotes and page numbers needed to be included. Each student presented the projects to the class and were scored on a rubric. Students did an amazing job.

Lyman Elementary School 5th grade students were able to collect 316 pairs of socks for the Socktober fundraiser. These socks will be
donated to the RSU57 Community Closet and the York County Shelter Programs.

We are also proud to say that the MMS Nutrition Staff have been very busy preparing and serving the most lunches they have ever served! Approximately 72% of students are choosing to eat school lunch every day!





Alfred Elementary's "Share Table" is up and running thanks to the leadership of Nurse Betty! AES students will help reduce food waste by placing unused & unopened food items from their school meals onto our share table, while also encouraging the consumption of healthy foods. A special thank you to our PTSA and Alfred Community for the purchase of our new refrigerator, making this project possible!



A super special THANK YOU to our Alfred Fire Department for their time, effort and energy given to the children of Alfred Elementary School today! Students enjoyed learning about the emergency vehicles, the responsibilities of a fire fighter, and how to stay safe in an emergency. They also enjoyed the hands on experience of both an obstacle course and aimed a fire hose at a target! Thanks to AES parent Matt Leach for once again taking the lead to organize this special event for our students. Please know how much you all are appreciated :)




November breakfast & lunch menus are now available!!

Our fall scholastic book fair at AES was a success! Thanks to the support of the community, I am happy to share that we had over $3500 in book sales! With every book sold, AES earns "scholastic dollars" to purchase books for our classroom and leveled libraries. A special thank you to Kris Bear for her organization and oversight of our event, and to Mrs. White & Mrs. Paradis for running our family literacy night during our even book fair hours. Thanks also to the community volunteers who oversaw our daytime classroom book fair visits!


Good Afternoon.
