Today, St. George School students and staff celebrated Better World Day by participating in various community service projects up and down the peninsula. Whether it was picking up trash on our rocky shores, helping feed local songbirds, filling up little free libraries, or providing a treat for our hard-working cafeteria workers, a meaningful and fun day was had by all. Each year, thousands of students across the country at EL network school join together with one common purpose: to make the world a better place. It is a guiding message woven throughout our projects and expeditions and made clearly visible on this unique day.
The Butterfly bus will be delayed this afternoon about 10 mins, we predict. Thanks for your understanding
Between May 17th and May 28th students at St. George will be taking their Spring NWEA Map Growth test. This news is shared with more enthusiasm than ever because the state Department of Education has decided that this test - which our students are very familiar with - will take the place of the cumbersome and lengthy MEA test. Our school uses the data from this test for many purposes: to help measure our overall growth as a school, to help students set goals, to identify areas of additional supports, and more. Here is a link to the NWEA site which outlines more information for parents: https://www.nwea.org/blog/2017/parents-map-growth-7-things-know/. If you'd like to discuss this assessment or our overall school-wide assessment plan please feel free to reach out to Adam Bullard at a.bullard@stgeorgemsu.org. May the 4th be with you!

Panda and Eagle bus update:
Starting Monday, March 15th Eagle bus will do both southern afternoon bus runs as a combined run for the remainder of the school year. All former students who rode the "panda" bus should be looking for the "Eagle" bus from now on. Drop off times will be very similar to the combined route we have been doing on and off throughout the year. At our current capacity social distancing and COVID protocols can still be maintained. In the rare event of an overload, an additional bus will be provided to get additional students home if needed.
Coping with Covid; Building Hope Supporting our Children and Ourselves Through this Pandemic
Presented By:
Greg Marley, LCSW
Director of Suicide prevention, NAMI Maine
This Pandemic is difficult for all of us. It is challenging for our youth, learning remotely and struggling with the mandated social isolation. It is challenging for those parenting through the pandemic, balancing the need to work, child care and life with the uncertainty and threats of COVID 19. It is challenging for the community professionals balancing their own needs and the needs of their community. For almost everyone, it impacts our mental health and sense of hope as we balance safety and access to the supports and services we need. Our challenge moving forward is to rebuild Hope.
This presentation acknowledges the challenging times we are living through and offers guidance to address mental wellness and help with the challenging conversation with someone who may struggle with mental health needs, substance use or the threat of suicide. School and community resources will be offered along with the opportunity to share your concerns and add ideas on how to get through these months and inject hope into our lives as we move forward into a mentally health spring. Let's build hope together.
This session is open to anyone in our communities; parents, caregivers, students and community members of the Midcoast region.

Students riding the Eeyore Bus and the Dolphin Bus in the morning who live on Route 131 and Long Cove Road may experience a 5 to 10 minute delay due to a driver absence and subsequent combination of bus runs. Please allow extra time for the bus to arrive. Dolphin Bus students who live on Kinney Woods Road, Dennison Road, Clark Island Road and Seal Harbor Road should remain unaffected. Even though the buses will be combined there will still be space to maintain our bus safety Covid-19 protocols of one child per seat unless siblings.
