Students in PK-2 and 3-5 at AES had the opportunity today to visit with the author of "Fenway & Hattie" (our schoolwide book that we are currently reading for our "One School One Book" event). Students had the opportunity to learn about the author and how she developed her story. They also had the opportunity for a question and answer session. Students were so respectful, engaged and excited. I even heard a few say, "I want to write a book!"...that is the greatest response you can hope for when hosting an event such as this! Thanks to our RSU community & PTSA for making this experience possible!

A special thank you to the MHS Girl's Lacrosse Team and Coach Tremblay for volunteering their time on Saturday to clean our trails at Alfred Elementary!

During April Break, nine RSU 57 Transportation Department staff attended the Maine Association of Pupil Transport Conference, including Director of Transportation Richie Newton. Drivers, mechanics, and directors from throughout Maine discussed topics about maintaining a safe and respectful transportation environment for students and drivers; including complacency, health and wellness, and the error chain of effect. A driving skills competition was also held, and we are proud to announce that our very own mechanic Mark Bryant placed third, and will go on to the state championship! Mark has been with RSU 57 for one and a half years and we are so grateful to have him on our team!

It is with great excitement and pride that we announce the recipients of the Model Mustang Staff Award for the month of April! This award is a tribute to those outstanding individuals who embody the qualities of a true “Model Mustang”; they inspire, lead, foster positivity, persevere, and excel in all that they do. Each Model Mustang was nominated by colleagues who took the time to acknowledge and celebrate their coworkers’ exceptional contributions to our district. Their hard work and commitment have not gone unnoticed, and we are grateful for the positive impact they have within RSU 57! This month's winner is Jackie Chaplin from Alfred Elementary!
"Jackie is a leader in our building through and through. She volunteers in a multitude of ways to support a variety of areas in our school. This includes direct instruction, individualized student support, community outreach, school-wide positive behavioral support implementation and "in the moment" help when needed. She always goes the extra mile, especially when she knows it will benefit our school community and is in the best interest of our kids. :) Thank you Jackie for all that you give, please know how appreciated you are!"

Alfred Elementary first grade students displayed their animal research and habitat dioramas during a museum walk this week. Our first graders worked exceptionally hard in researching, building, and crafting their animals and habitats.
First students chose an animal of interest, then researched specific facts about the animal including their habitat, adaptations, life cycle, and fun facts. Next students painted and decorated their shoebox dioramas. Afterwards, students used clay to create a model of their animal for their habitat. It was extremely rewarding for our first graders to present their exhibits and knowledge to others. We are so proud of all their hard work!
CALLING ALL LOCAL BUSINESS OWNERS AND EMPLOYERS!
As part of RSU 57's newly-implemented Strategic Plan, the School Board of Directors Curriculum Committee is seeking to "deepen school and community connections by developing strong community partnerships". We would therefore like to invite local civic and industry leaders to the upcoming RSU 57 Community Forum on Tuesday, April 9 at 7pm at the MHS East Training Center. We will engage in meaningful discussions about preparing students for success post-graduation and review what workforce skills and dispositions are needed in today's job market.
We hope to see you there!
Grades 3-5 students at Alfred Elementary School participated in an Appreciation Assembly earlier this month!! We talked about what appreciation is, learned a fun song and dance to remind us to appreciate each other and make posters as a group to show appreciation for all adults in our building. This was a good reminder for all of us to show appreciation for others more often.
