I do anticipate the need for 8th grade to play up to varsity in basketball, especially for the girls, however if we can get enough participation I would love for the girls to concentrate on just MS.
For our varsity athletes don't forget we are in a new conference (East-West) and we now play in the small school (class S) division which will allow for a more balanced and competitive schedule. We have both varsity boys and girls coaches returning as well as our MS girls coach returning for a second season. Our programs are continuing to develop and we need all the participation possible! Lets make Laker basketball what it used to be not that long ago!
High school Environmental Science students traveled to the University of Maine's experimental forest on Wednesday as part of the Envirothon program. Students reported that they very much enjoyed getting to learn in the field and apply new skills. Thank you to Mr. Crabtree for arranging this experience.
Elementary students attended sessions by Chewonki outdoor education on Friday and learned about animal adaptations, aquatic ecology, and the traits and behaviors of owls. Thank you to the elementary teachers and community supporters who helped to produce this program.
As autumn comes into full swing and the weather changes, please be sure to send your students to school with seasonally appropriate clothing, including outerwear. We want students to be able to learn and recreate outdoors as much as possible, and we appreciate your support in preparing for the wind, the rain, and the cold.

Also a huge win for the varsity boys as they upset #2 ranked PTA in overtime. The Lakers got two goals from Elijah Denham, including a near half field chip shot over the goalie to win it with just over a minute left in overtime. Landon Theriault was outstanding in net as usual to secure the Lakers win.
And last but certainly not least our middle school girls came up with a very big 3-1 win in their last regular season game against Penobscot Christian. Harper Swanson, Astrid Seeback and Maggie Shaw each found the net for your Lakers. The Lakers got strong goaltending from Micha Brown and Indie Shaw to secure a big win before playoffs.
Speaking of playoffs! Both middle school teams will be in this years Penquis League tournament. Playoff seeding and schedules will be announced shortly.
