A Message from Rick Riley-Benoit
NWEA testing for ELA will be on 1/28 and math on 1/30. Studies show the kids do better in the classroom when they have a good night sleep and eat a balanced breakfast in the morning. Let’s support our students on their road to success every way we can!
A reminder to send your student to school with warm outerwear for outside recess.
Art Competition
The MSAD 15 District-Wide Science Fair will be held on Thursday, May 1st. To generate excitement for the Fair, we are hosting an Art Competition! MSAD 15 students can submit a piece of original artwork – either a logo or a flyer. This artwork should be related to a scientific theme of the artist’s choice. We will collect submissions through January 31st. At the time, judges will select one logo/flyer to use in Science Fair promotional materials. The creator of the selected logo/flyer will also win an Art Kit!
More information & a link to submit artwork can be found on the flyer.
Yearbook
Middle School Yearbooks are available to order through this link. The cost of the yearbook is $22.00.
There are 60 pages of colorful pictures to commemorate the 2024-2025 school year, including school portraits, sports and club photos, activities photos, and fun snapshots.
You may also add extras to your child’s yearbook such as a printed name on the front cover or extra autograph pages, for an additional cost. Preordered yearbooks will be handed out to students in June. Don’t delay on ordering your child’s yearbook, as there is no guarantee that extra yearbooks will be available to purchase in June.
Any questions, please contact the yearbook advisor at emcnally@sad15.org.
