From the Principal
Thank you to our guidance counselor Lindsay Friberg for organizing the Dunn School Great Kindness Challenge. The events of the week have given students and staff an opportunity to focus on positive behaviors and promote a caring school community.
Our first team breakfast was a huge success! Over 300 meals were served. I look forward to seeing families at our second team breakfast for the Gillis, Raymond, Chouinard, Sinclair, Fecteau, Marzilli, and Rogers classes on February 11th. It is not too late to turn in your breakfast order form. We want to accommodate all of our guests.
I hope that everyone has a safe and relaxing February vacation!

Congratulations
Martha Gill and Martha Gamage have been nominated for 2020 Cumberland County Teacher of the Year! This is a tremendous acknowledgement of the excellent work they do in their classrooms and school community, as well as the impact they have on students every day. We are proud to have these exceptional teachers as part of the Dunn School staff.

Lastly, as a service-learning aspect to The Great Kindness Challenge, as well as an opportunity to be a Caring Community, Dunn School will be participating in a new, unused book drive! All new and unused books that students, families and staff wish to purchase and donate during the week of our Great Kindness Challenge will be then donated to children and families in need who attend the Barbara Bush Children’s Hospital at Maine Medical for treatment and care.
We are so excited to be able to give back to children who might be able to find some comfort in a good book!
With Kindness ~ Lindsay Friberg, Dunn School Counselor lfriberg@sad15.org
