Chorus students are composing a piece about physical and mental challenges. These are some lyric builds, or thoughts that will soon form the words for our combined Grade 6-7-8 Chorus piece. Chorus is lead by director Kristine Bisson.
Our very own teachers Cathy Locke and Kris Bisson were recognized by the Maine Principals Association (MPA).
The MPA has been highlighting positive stories for schools throughout the State of Maine. Mr. Creech shared with the MPA the amazing work our staff, students, and school community have been doing with the Veteran's Day Celebration. Led by Cathy Locke and Kris Bisson, this project embodies what is best in schools when dedicated teachers work with students, their families, and the community to honor and celebrate our Veterans and First Responders.
