First graders have been learning about how animals survive and thrive in their environments. To enrich their studies, they welcomed guest speaker Matt LaRoche, former Superintendent of the Allagash Wilderness Waterway. He shared fascinating insights and brought pelts from Maine animals, helping students understand how coats protect animals and how to identify herbivores, omnivores, and carnivores. The visit wrapped up with some thrilling bear stories that captivated everyone!

PSA from the GCS Health Office -
As we see an uptick in illness at the elementary, middle, and high school levels, we want to alert families to be mindful of the following:
If your child is experiencing fever, vomiting, or diarrhea, please keep them home until they are symptom-free for at least 24 hours without the use of medication.
This practice will help limit the spread of contagious illnesses and keep our school community healthier.
Thank you for your cooperation!
Due to limited dates available to both schools the varsity boys game postponed from today will be attempted to be played tomorrow 1/23 @ 6:00 pm. This obviously depends on the health of our athletes. If our players are not feeling better tomorrow we will explore other options to get the game in.
The varsity boys basketball game against Howland scheduled for tonight has been postponed as a majority of our team is on the mend. We wish them well and hope they all feel better soon! Details on a reschedule will be posted as soon as a new date is set.
