Team Sabattus had a fantastic visit today with poet Amanda Dettman, formerly of the Visiting Room in Portland. We heard a performance and even wrote an interactive poem! "Never stop writing and creating!" A huge thank you to Ms. Dettman and to Mrs. Miller for organizing!

What's for lunch today? Elementary and middle school students had a choice of a BBQ pulled pork sub on a whole grain French bread roll, or whole grain wheat thin crackers, low-fat cheddar cheese and pepperoni slices (a student favorite!!) Each entree comes with a fresh made side salad (romaine, spring mix, tomatoes and cucumbers) and choice of low-fat chocolate or white milk! High school students enjoyed a main entree of Mexican seasoned beef, with whole grain tortilla chips, cheese, sour cream and salsa with a fresh made side salad (romaine, spring mix, tomatoes and cucumbers) and choice of low-fat chocolate or white milk! School Lunch Hero Day is next Friday and we want to thank all of our hard working nutrition staff for providing such healthy, nutritious meals to the students of RSU 57!!

Practices today at Massabesic Middle School are cancelled. There will be no activity bus today. Thank you.

Students in Mrs. Lestage's 8th grade math class played "Math Libs" today to review for an upcoming assessment. They solved a series of problems relating to surface area and volume and, with each problem solved, they earned a "Math Lib" clue. Who knew that Mrs. Grantham had such fancy friends!
