Friday unified arts classes are electives for our students. Here you see some students enjoying robotics and indoor games. Maybe we should rename Friday to Fun Fridays.

The 23rd year of Old Town Summer Band Camp is underway!
A huge THANK YOU to Dick Andren at Hirundo Wildlife Refuge for an amazing day of learning last week. We also appreciate the support from Jenn Goodwin, School Community Coordinator for RSU34, for organizing and planning our trip! Students enjoyed a program led by Dick on how human communities are like forest communities. We ended our visit with a fun scavenger hunt of items from the forest!
LMS summer school learners are becoming great caretakers of our school garden! Yesterday, we harvested basil, mint, garlic scapes, and rosemary. A few green beans right off the plant were a nice snack while we worked. We are learning about the unique smells of herbs, garden pests, and effective gardening techniques.
LMS Invention Convention finalists that participated in Big Gig, Jr. this spring were invited to make a guest appearance on Greenlight Maine!
