Students had a great time making unique turkeys.
The fourth and fifth grade students and staff members would like to thank those who made contributions to their fund raising efforts so they could view the movie Lost on a Mountain in Maine at the Temple Theater in Houlton. Thank you to Terry Dupont for donating a walking stick and antique snowshoes for a raffle, donations from Katahdin Federal Credit Union, Home Grown Fuels, Katahdin Forest Management, and many others who made individual donations of money. Houlton Junior/Senior High School generously provided the staff and students a place to eat their lunches that were provided by the Granite Street cafeteria. Jason Howes, owner of the Temple Theater, was a generous host. Everyone enjoyed popcorn, a drink, and a wonderful movie experience.
Come out and support the Unified Performing Arts this weekend.
Today we had another successful evacuation drill. Thank you to all of the staff and students for doing really well throughout this process. Thank you to parents and Millinocket residents for your support as we did these drills and sometimes impacted traffic flow.
Parents and Caregivers,
Please park your vehicle in designated a parking spot if you are walking students to the playground or into the building in the morning. This will allow students to exit other vehicles safely and allow the drop off line to continue to move smoothly. Thank you for your cooperation.

Dear Families and Staff,
At a recent wellness team meeting, we discussed ways in which our schools can promote healthy habits for staff and students. We also know we need to consider that many students and staff members have various medical conditions requiring dietary considerations and restrictions. With these things in mind, we are asking for everyone’s help with providing either nonfood items or healthy food choices at school celebrations (classroom, holidays, birthdays, etc.). Healthy food options are:
store-bought and pre-packaged
nut-free
healthy food options (fruit, vegetables, crackers, cheese, pretzels, goldfish, water bottles, juice, etc.)
Thank you for your support as we move forward in building healthy habits for everyone.

The easiest way to contact us is to email us at awelch@millioncketschools.org or tammy@millinocketschools.org. Thank you!
Mr. Raymond and Mr. Robbins visited the 4th graders to talk about their experiences in the Air Force. Students gave the guests letters they had written, and were able to looked at pictures the guests shared from their time in the service. The students enjoyed conversations about different facts about various countries. They also learned that Veteran’s Day used to be called Armistice Day, it is on November 11th because it was the end of World War 1, and that fighter jets can refuel in the air.
Granite Street is collecting nonperishable foods that will be donate to the Stearns' Food Pantry. Students can bring in items to put in their classroom box. This food drive will end on November 25th.
