It was another full week at GCS. Please see below for some of the many worthy photos and a few reminders.
The kindergarten class visited the Moosehead Lake Museum as part of its Wabanaki Studies curriculum. It also had its final French immersion session for the year, during which they learned about the French painter Henri Rousseau, made their own artwork, and were able to say bon voyage to our guest student from France.
The first graders learned more about light waves and sound waves as part of their science curriculum, and they had a guest from Kiwanis visit and give each student a book for summer reading.
The 8th grade class traveled to the University of Maine at Orono to present their final project as part of the Maine Forest Collaborative. They impressed their chaperones and hosts and had a wonderful time exploring the Advanced Structures and Composites Center as well.
And the high school faculty celebrated their students' achievements during the the Academic Awards night. GCS also revealed its student speakers for this year's Commencement Exercises.
Congratulations to Honor Essayist Makayla Goodrich, Salutatorian Alexandria Durose, and Valedictorian Justyce Hart.
We are proud of all of our students' work and contributions to the community.

1. Early elementary students were able to take enrichment trips to the Moosehead Lake Museum as part of the AMC partnership programming.
2. Third grade students were able to visit the Far Reach Observatory and learn more about the solar system.
3. An inspired community fundraiser for middle schoolers was completed: "6th grade students in Ms. Wentworth's ELA class were each given a box set of the entire "Hatchet" series by Gary Paulsen, made possible through Donors Choose.
Ms. Wentworth created the project on a Friday night and by the following day, the entire cost of $583 was met and matched. A huge shout out to the following donors who sponsored this amazing opportunity for her students: Samantha Valera, Molly Wood, Josh Wentworth, and CCM Events & Planning.
These students not only have this set to add to their own home libraries but a fantastic series for summer reading!"
4. A few more photos from the Art Show and Concert. GCS is fortunate to have a vibrant fine arts and music program.
Our thanks to the community for its continued support.
Greenville and Shirley students will have a combined bus route this afternoon 05/27/2026, and both routes on 05/28/2026 due to athletic schedule changes. Please refer to the bus schedule for further information.

Update on today’s Middle School Baseball & Softball games in Milo:
🥎 Unfortunately, the softball field is flooded and today’s softball game has been canceled. Due to a lack of available makeup dates — and because the game does not impact the standings — this game will not be rescheduled.
⚾ The middle school baseball game has currently been pushed back to a 4:30 PM start time. This matchup has BIG implications, as it will determine the #3 and #4 playoff seeding, so everyone involved is doing their best to get this game played.
🚌 If the game is played, the bus will leave today at 2:15 PM.
⏰ A final decision on baseball will be made by 1:30 PM today.
Stay tuned for updates and thank you for your flexibility and support of our Lakers! 💙⚾🥎
