Congratulations to Harper and Norah and a third anonymous participant for competing in the State Mathcounts competition this weekend. Just getting there is an honor, but Norah came in 11th place. That means she is number 11 in the whole state of Maine! Go Norah! Go Dragons!
📣 **Important Calendar Update** 📅
At last night’s School Board meeting, a change to this year’s school calendar was approved:
✨ The January 29 Early Release Day has been rescheduled to **Wednesday, March 12, 2025**.
This adjustment allows our staff to engage in professional development that was postponed due to the January 29 snow day. Early release days are vital for staff training and growth, which directly benefit our students.
✨ Additionally, **March 20 and 21** remain scheduled as early release days for **Student-Led Conferences**. A scheduling link for conference appointments will be shared with families next week—stay tuned!
We truly appreciate your understanding and flexibility as we make these adjustments to better support our school community. 💙

Attention Families of 3rd and 4th graders!
Charley (8th grade) is running Futsal (soccer) clinics for 3rd and 4th graders on March 3, 10, and 17. This should be a great way for the kids to get a little extra exercise in March and also learn some new skills. John Probert (our wonderful Kieve Educator in Residence who also does Forest School) will be there to support Charley as well. Permission slips went out in your email and via the kids. Please sign up soon (tomorrow would be great!) so she can plan the clinics! Send any questions to a.palmer@stgeorgemsu.org
Attention families of 6-8 graders! Auditions for the spring play are this Wednesday (2/5) from 2:30-4:00! Please check in with your child to see if they signed up. We will be reading from the play together and having fun. It's going to be another spectacular play written by our own Violet Bedell!
