We look forward to getting to know you and your children, and we welcome parental input. After all, you know your child better than anyone else.

We are  structured teams insisting that the students use class time for learning.  Class participation is very important to the learning process.   We help students be organized, productive, and responsible for their work and behavior.  We also stay after school when needed to work with students.

That does not mean we do not like to have fun.  The teams usually have several team activities throughout the year which the students find rewarding and enjoyable -- a break from the everyday routine.  We also advise a fair share of the extra-curricular activities.

 Team leader, Mr. Cournoyer, along with Mrs. Easler are advisors for the Outing Club, which enjoys several outdoor activities throughout the school year.   Ms. Arntsen organizes the National Geography Bee each winter.  Ms. Gerry provides writing and graphics for some school signs and posters and does the Teams' web pages.  Mr.  Marcoux coaches football and basketball.  

We participate in the Maine National Guard Adventure Program.  This program offers lessons that help build the assets young people need to grow up competent, caring, and responsible. This program supports the Maine Learning Results as well as our own curriculum.  We want our students to be successful in school and life.
