Mrs. Mauger worked with her students to prepare Blessing Bags for local shelters. Today they shopped for needed items, using money they raised.

We are so proud of our 7th graders and their performance of the Lion King! Many thanks to all at OTES who kept their pandemic promise to these performers.

School and Student Safety Late yesterday afternoon, we were informed of a possible threat to the safety of our schools. We IMMEDIATELY initiated an investigation. In cooperation with the Old Town Police Department, we determined that a comment overheard by a student was perceived as a safety threat. The student did what we ask students to do, “If you see or hear something, say something.” Fortunately, there was no criminal or credible threat to the safety of our students. Nonetheless, the comment was perceived as a threat and as such, will be dealt with administratively. RSU#34 maintains our high-level commitment to the safety and well-being of all students and staff.

Congratulations to Meredith Cyr! She was one of the 5 winners at the State Invention Convention, with her Rainy Day Hammock.
