Pictured here are students in Mr. Swett’s woodworking class finishing up year end projects. Elijah Holbrook works on refinishing a wooden table top. Zach Hansen, Dana Newton, Ethan Smarrella, and Tyler Colby are letting the glue dry on their boat console repair project. Michael Hendrix is putting the finishing touches to a jewelry box he plans to give as a gift. Alex Lehnig and Thomas Allen are re-finishing a livewell cover.
Students in Mr. Dochtermann’s STEM/Metal class worked on several interesting projects throughout the year. Aiden Harris said it took him 15+ hours to refurbish this foot vice that will be put to good use by students for future projects. Ashley Welch has a way to go to finish this cribbage board, but she says she’ll get it done before the end of the year! It took Kadence Presby a couple of months to complete this scrap metal sculpture using all donated materials; silverware, wire, nuts, and bolts. It is currently on display in the courtyard outside the Industrial Arts hallway. Keith Saltsman and Alex Violette repaired a broken 3D printer by swapping out an extruder. Whatever that is! Fortunately they know!
To compliment the beautiful painted mural in the hallway by students in the high school art department, Mr. Dochtermann’s STEM/Metal class added these creative, one-of-a-kind sheet metal fish. The students said they are interested in making their school environment better. Phillip Oreto said this is the first year for this project but that he hoped the project would grow with future classes.

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.

We are thankful to all individuals who helped to make it happen!

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.

Alfred Elementary School welcomed our new Buddy Bench today! The buddy bench is a venue for children to include others in play that have no one to play with. It is used for kindness, inclusion, and friendship. WE are excited to implement this tool at our school.

A special thank you to Ms. Lessard and to Michele Libby, who made the delivery to our school today!
