Good evening, I want to bring to your attention that a new update has been posted. I hope you are doing well and that you have a restful Memorial Day Weekend.

8th graders, we hope to see you and your families on June 4th to celebrate you and your middle school years!

LYMAN ELEMENTARY FAMILIES, I know you are tired, stressed, and doing the best that you can. We are so thankful for all the hard work that you have put into helping our students continue to grow during distance learning. Please watch the video that the staff created for you. YOU ARE A HERO!  https://youtu.be/OoSwMMfp2R8

Looking for a way to help? Want to give back? Help a neighbor? As our nation adjusts to a new reality, we are inspired to find ways to help those most severely impacted by COVID-19. In an effort to give back to our community and those who suffer from food insecurity we are partnering with 320ink and their TipJar Initiative. Please consider purchasing a tshirt (seen below) for $20. Proceeds will be donated to the RSU 57’s food insecurity programs. T-shirts will be available for a period of two weeks, and will be mailed directly to you by 320ink, after the sale closes. To order your t-shirt in youth or adult sizes, please click on the link below. https://rsu-57-district-food-insecurity-efforts.itemorder.c… https://youtu.be/EuY3jq7MY3w We are hoping to spread messages of positivity via the #separatedbutnotdivided through social media platforms. We are encouraging people to take a photo wearing their Separated But Not Divided t-shirt and share it on social media with a message of hope and positivity. Please include the #separatedbutnotdivided as part of your post. MHS Student Council

Maine's Department of Health and Human Services has received approval from Food and Nutrition Services to partner with the Maine Department of Education to provide a Pandemic EBT (P-EBT) benefit to school-aged children who normally receive free or reduced breakfast and lunch at Maine schools. This benefit will help to replace the value of school meals while students are learning remotely. Families currently receiving SNAP or TANF and have a child aged five through eighteen will receive a P-EBT benefit on their Pine Tree card in May. Families who are not receiving SNAP or TANF and have a child who is eligible for free or reduced school lunch can request the P-EBT benefit by calling 1-855-797-4357. Some household information will be requested by a phone agent who will then verify eligibility with the Maine Department of Education. Families who have not yet been found eligible for free or reduced lunch can apply through their local school district at the following link. www.myschoolapps.com Separate P-EBT cards will be issued for eligible families who do not already have a Pine Tree card. Please call our office if you cannot access the online application and we will mail you a paper copy. (207)247-3221 x2257

Mustang Theatre has many of its performances on YouTube. In this time of remote learning and many of us still staying home, I thought it may be a good time to watch some productions if you have not had the opportunity to come see a show. Here is last Fall's presentation of Little Women. https://youtu.be/-cWiglxMTiw On our Mustang Theatre playlist, you will also find past performances including Sillyheart, The Storm, Anatomy of Gray, and A Sussified Christmas Carol. Our one-act from this year will be posted soon also.

Good afternoon, I hope you and your family are well and in good spirits. My most recent update has been posted to our website, which includes final last day of school for students, links to staff parades for students, and special recognition for our food service heroes. Please take care of yourself, loved ones, and those around you. When there is a choice, choose kindness.

School Lunch Hero Day! Friday, May 1st! https://drive.google.com/open?id=1pO6UlS3wMZi6TaWQBa1p6oBWwPKIDhxC

The staff at Alfred Elementary is happy to announce our "Staff and Friends Parade" scheduled for next Thursday, May 7th from 4-5pm. Please see the attached flyer for additional details. The parade route will be shared with you shortly. If the parade does not travel directly by your home, we encourage you to find a public location along our route so that we can say hello to our students! Thanks to Mrs. Blackington, Mrs. Rollins, Mrs. Knight and all of our staff who have worked diligently to organize this special event for our students!

The social workers at MHS have been thinking of you all and have some tips they would like to share to help during this time. Please watch their video debut :) https://youtu.be/9YIP_VIrFic

Last week the Alfred Elementary "Weekly Challenge" was to thank a hero. Students discussed what the word 'hero' meant to them. They created cards and sent them friends, family, our drivers & more! Several decided to thank our local fire fighters and safely delivered it to them!
