It is with heavy hearts that we inform the public that Stearns High School has felt the loss of one of our students. When a community experiences a tragic loss like this, people can have many different feelings and emotions. Today, we will have staff members available to support students during this difficult time. They will be there to listen, support and talk with anyone who would like to come by. We are providing a safe place to gather together and remember. At times like this, it is normal to have many different feelings, including sadness, anger, and disbelief. It is okay to cry. Together we can talk about whatever you may be feeling or you may want to come share your favorite stories.
Our entire school community sends our deepest sympathies and condolences to the family and friends of our student.

Jessica Jordan from Jordan Farms came to Granite on April 9th. Each grade joined her in the conference room to learn how a kernel of corn grows into a stalk with an ear of corn, and them can become popcorn. Students were given a kernel of corn to plant in their own cups of soil to take home. They also watched the kernels becomes popcorn and enjoyed this treat. Thank you Ms. Jordan for this great learning opportunity.

Ms. Angela from Versant Power visited the fourth graders to talk about safety around power lines. Some things she talked to them about was the amount of electricity that flows through the lines and into houses. The students enjoyed her demonstration with the model of little town. One of the biggest take aways was that electricity doesn’t like to be different. She also shared samples of rock that had been electrified in her driveway and turned to glass. The students showed their respect for a guest speaker by being great listeners.
Due to the timeline of the weather including snow, sleet and freezing rain, Millinocket School Department along with East, Medway and Region III are canceling school tomorrow, Thursday, April 3, 2025! Please stay safe.

We have started our annual Bikes for Books campaign. The Maine Masons donate one girl bike and one boy bike for grades PK-5. At the end of the year, we will invite members of the local Masons to an assembly and drawn names to see who will win the bikes. The more a student reads, the greater the chance of winning a bike!
We have began our yearly spring Scholastic Book Fair coin drive. The collected money will be used to ensure every student is able to shop at the book fair. Scholastics will also match the amount raised to give to a school in need. This year, the adult who has the most coins in their bucket will be sprayed with silly string by a class.
It's that time of year for registering students to join our PK program for the 2025-2026 school year. If you or someone you know has a child that will be 4 or 5 years old before October 15, 2025, please fill out and return the form found here. You can also pick up a form in the office or request one be sent via email by contacting Shawna by email at sboyer@millinocketschools.org.
