An extra special shout-out to Will, Henry, Ben and Alex for using their entire specials period to pickup trash. Well done 3rd grade!

Softball
Baseball Gear
For a limited time we have 3 team apparel shops set up through BSN Sports. They will only be up for 11 more days and then all orders will print and ship. We also make a couple of dollars for each item to go towards our athletic programs. There are 3 different shops so I will need to post this 3 times but they all lead to different shops (Baseball, Softball and General Laker gear).
We have a total of 6 teams signed up between the three divisions. We need at least 4 per division to continue with the fundraiser. Saturday is looking like a rainy wet day, why not come out and compete in a basketball tournament and support two high school classes! If we don't have enough interest by Wednesday the 27th we will need to cancel.
Following February break, the second graders began their typing lessons with Ms. Breau. They've been honing their keyboarding skills, focusing on hand placement and accuracy, all the while becoming acquainted with using a laptop. This not only aids in their smooth transition from iPads in second grade to laptops in third grade but also enhances their overall computer literacy.
In our first year participating in the Scripps Spelling Bee program, Maggie emerged as the champion, proudly claiming the titles for both GCS and Piscataquis County.
