Music Monday- make instruments
Tasty Tuesday- enjoy fruit kabobs
Work Together Wednesday- bring in a box of cereal to use in the hallway cereal box domino rally, cereal will then be donated to a local food cupboard
Think About it Thursday- send in toilet paper or paper towel rolls and colored tape (washi/masking etc.) anytime to contribute to our STEM activities

π Maine Discovery Museum Field Trip Tuesday, April 9th π
We will all be taking a field trip to the Maine Discovery Museum in Bangor on Tuesday. The bus will depart VRS at 9:00 and return around 1:00. Please make sure your student comes to school with a snack and a lunch if they did not sign up for a bag lunch. Thank you to PRIDE for sponsoring this fun learning experience!
π Family Fun! π
Thanks to all who joined us at the family skate last Saturday and STEM night this past Wednesday. Both events were so much fun! All during the month of April you can support your student, or better yet, read with them as they work through the Bikes for Books Reading Challenge. All students who put forth an effort in this challenge will be entered for the chance to win a bike or other prizes. Challenge sheets were sent home and one is pictured below.
Your student received a pair of solar eclipse glasses from the Acadia Park Rangers. Please be sure to use these and follow safety precaution's for Monday's eclipse.
If you have not already, please provide your input for your student's placement next year. An paper input sheet was sent home or the online form is available here.
School vacation week is Monday, April 15-Friday, April 19.
