On May 27th, the MMS Student Council members, their families, and friends participated in a Memorial Day Flag Ceremony at the Southern Maine Memorial Veterans Cemetery in Springvale. They had the honor of placing flags on our fallen Veterans' gravestones in memory of their sacrifices. The few minutes spent placing the over 1,400 flags will always make this and future Memorial Days more memorable to them.

Lyman Elementary celebrated our PTC president Jojo Dryden today. After 11 years on our PTC she is leaving us. There are not enough words to express how thankful we are for all she has done for our school. We will miss you dearly.
Lyman Elementary: For the 21/22 School Year Peer Helpers voted on what they’d like to do to give back to our Lyman community. The whole Project, from start to finish, was Peer Helper run. During the month of May, Peer Helpers collected items to donate to York County Shelter. Their goal was to collect 6 boxes. In the end they collected 8 boxes of items (some of which didn’t make it into the picture), which consisted of toiletries, linens, art supplies, food, etc. To Celebrate their success, Peer Helpers hosted a whole grade Pizza Party Picnic. Wonderful job, Peer Helpers, on learning about Service and Responsibility!
Alfred's Field Day 2022 was a success! Students enjoyed a variety of outdoor games thanks to the help of Mr. Penley! Our fifth graders did a wonderful job leading each station and all students enjoyed snow cones thanks to Mr. Cole's snow cone truck.

Lyman Elementary :The local forest ranger came to visit our 2nd grade classes today. He talked to the students about different trees we have in Maine, how trees grow, how long they live, and ways to keep them healthy. We took a nature walk and found a pine tree that he used a device to make a hole in the tree to figure out how old the tree is. He also talked to them about different types of trees and how we classify them.
