Burchard A. Dunn School

As we enter the holidays and vacation we hope that students, teachers, staff and  families will have the opportunity to relax, reflect, and recharge for what’s ahead.  Wishing you and your family a safe and happy holiday season!

Ms. Lindsay’s School Counseling Corner

MSAD15 Food Backpack Program Sign-Up:  The MSAD 15 Food Backpack Program discreetly provides students-in-need with bags of healthy, easy-to-prepare food at the end of each week and prior to school vacations when the school meals they rely on are unavailable. If you feel that it would be beneficial for your family to receive a food bag each week, please complete this Google Form Sign-Up Link. All responses are confidential. If you signed your student up for this program earlier this school year, there is no need to sign them up again, as they will continue to receive weekly food bags.  You may opt in or out of this program at any time. Please contact Dunn School Counselor, Lindsay Friberg at lfriberg@sad15.org or 207-657-5050 with any questions or concerns. 

Dunn Student Winter Outerwear Needs?  Dunn School would like to help families in need make sure that all of our students have warm winter outerwear.  If your family is experiencing economic hardship and your Dunn student needs any winter outerwear, please complete this Winter Gear Sign-Up Link to indicate items and size for each item requested. We will do our best to see that your student is outfitted in new or gently used clothing for staying warm while playing outside this winter. All responses are confidential.  Please contact Dunn School Counselor Lindsay Friberg with any questions:  lfriberg@sad15.org or 207-657-5050.

From the Art Room

Ms Crosby’s students had a fun experience making these chalk pastel polar bears.  They learned about making animals using simple shapes and experimented with shadows and highlights.
