Bowling – On Friday, February 4, the sixth grade class will be going to the bowling lanes in Dover-Foxcroft for an afternoon of bowling. As a part of the school district’s wellness program the students will participate in the activity with a view toward improving health-related fitness. Students will leave the school at 11:30 and return to school in time to meet the regularly scheduled buses and athletic events after school.

Mid-trimester – Time is flying this year, and it’s time for the mid-trimester grades. This is also the mid-point of the school year. Grades close on Friday, January 28, 2005 and will be compiled for sending home next week. Parents should contact teachers if there are any questions about grades or teacher comments. Please review the Guiding Principles as these numbers reflect your child’s efforts and the quality of their success.
