On November 25th, the first and second graders enjoyed a Thanksgiving feast. This was a a cumulative activity to learning about the first Thanksgiving and being thankful.
On Tuesday, November 26th the fourth and fifth graders celebrated National Cranberry Day. Groups of students rotated through four activities. One involved recording observations while tasing various cranberry food. A second one was playing a trivia game with questions about cranberries in the following categories: math, vocabulary, science, and social studies. A third activity was making wreaths with the cranberries. The fourth activity was a dancing cranberry experiment. If you know a fourth or fifth grader, ask them about these activities and what they learned from the experiment.

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.

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.
Whirty Passes are now available!
