No school today in RSU 34. 4/8/19
Planning for our 8th grade class trip to Camp Jordan is well underway. We ask that parents/guardians of 8th grade students follow this link (https://5il.co/74wy) to read about how they can be involved with the trip and to sign up for a volunteer role. We have dozens of jobs that need to be filled in order to pull off the trip. Thank you in advance for your support of this great opportunity for our students.
The 8th grade Cathedral Team went skiing with MOEP today and had a blast. We had several first time skiers and the positive vibes and encouragement were everywhere as students cheered on their peers. The sense of community was palpable and we couldn’t be more proud of how our students represented Leonard Middle School while on the trip.
Xander Doty was at Portland for the Marshwoods New England wrestling tournament 3/30/2019 and took first. He is the New England champion. Won all four rounds and brought the trophy home. We are so proud of our champion!

Trimester 2 report cards will be sent home this afternoon with your student. Please review the report card and refer to our "Interpreting the Standards-Based Report Card" FAQ if you are having trouble understanding the proficiency-based scoring. Take a close look at Habits of Citizenship and Habits of Work. Students that do well in these areas typically thrive and meet or exceed academic standards.
