Good News, Reminders, Information
Congratulations
Congratulations to our talented and dedicated community partners Ray and Patricia Estabrook, founders and directors of the Game Loft in Belfast and I Know ME. Their remarkable work with the young people of Waldo County has been extraordinary and even life-saving. The Estabrooks were invited to a gala event – an annual awards banquet sponsored by the MEA (Maine Education Association) – where they received a prestigious service award, The Golden Apple Award, along with their colleague Aden Hargrove. This award recognizes community-based organizations and volunteers that have made contributions in support of our students. Please join me in congratulating and thanking them for their outstanding service to our young people.
Ames
On May 18, we had a "reading tasting" at our Reading Restaurant. It was a wonderful event! Every student had a guest to read to, Students and Staff matched with those whose families could not attend. Librarian Steven Brown also joined us so that families could get a Library card.
Weymouth
The Ames Civil Rights team traveled to Weymouth on Friday 5/27 to host a mini field day which included a book walk, rock painting, obstacle course, parachute games, and learning the game of 4 square! Thank you Miss Page for coordinating this wonderful event.

A Message From Friends of Acadia and Acadia National Park:
Thank you so much for bringing your students to Acadia National Park and helping us out! Please let all of them know how much we appreciate their hard work and enthusiasm. Thanks to your group's efforts we were able to protect an important and historic section of Carriage Road which will help it survive any future storms.
Additionally, thank you so much for the donated tools and gloves we have already used them with a couple of Service Groups!
