We are so proud of our 7th graders and their performance of the Lion King! Many thanks to all at OTES who kept their pandemic promise to these performers.
School and Student Safety
Late yesterday afternoon, we were informed of a possible threat to the safety of our schools. We IMMEDIATELY initiated an investigation. In cooperation with the Old Town Police Department, we determined that a comment overheard by a student was perceived as a safety threat. The student did what we ask students to do, “If you see or hear something, say something.”
Fortunately, there was no criminal or credible threat to the safety of our students. Nonetheless, the comment was perceived as a threat and as such, will be dealt with administratively.
RSU#34 maintains our high-level commitment to the safety and well-being of all students and staff.
Congratulations to Meredith Cyr! She was one of the 5 winners at the State Invention Convention, with her Rainy Day Hammock.

The Satellite Afterschool Club is off to an exciting start! Students from all three grades have joined together in Mrs. Zabierek’s room to learn new technology and communication skills that will help them to build a cube satellite. The cube satellite will be part of the suborbital payload of a rocket launch this fall in Maine. In the past two weeks of the club, students have practiced 3D printing, Tinkercad design, sensor programming, virtual reality experimentation, and team building with paint prints. This club will meet until June and will showcase their work at a celebration event at the Challenger Learning Center.

FREE COVID TESTS!
With February school vacation starting on Monday, February 21, we encourage families and school staff to order these free home tests as soon as possible. Testing before returning to school following February vacation week will help prevent the school-based transmission of COVID-19 as students and staff return on February 28. Any Maine resident can visit the Project ACT website, AccessCovidTests.org, to place their order. The program is limited to one order per residential address during this first phase of the project.
