ANNOUNCEMENTS FOR FRIDAY,  JUNE 19th

IMPORTANT MEALS INFORMATION We will be delivering meals through June 29th, every Monday and Thursday. Monday, June 29th will be the last day of meal delivery using our buses. Meals will be available for pickup again starting July 6th and then daily through August.  We will have a map of pickup sites posted in the next few weeks.

CONTENT FROM FAMILIES AND FROM SCHOOL PACKING FOOD INTO BAGS A group of about a dozen Abbey and SACS staff members meets several times a week to form an assembly line to pack food into bags for later delivery. Rows of tables are set up to simplify the process. Milk, juice, rolls, fruit, snacks, and sealed meals are placed into grocery bags. These bags are then added to larger plastic bags that are hauled out to a refrigerator storage unit. They get loaded onto buses by a group of volunteers and distributed the next day on various bus routes. Packaging - Wednesday, June 17th Delivering - Thursday, June 18th DREAMERS END-OF-YEAR CELEBRATION Kindergarten Teacher, Ms. Dennis and her colleague, Ms. Sue Bessette, delivered end-of-the-year gifts to their cluster of students. Here is a link to the video/slideshow Ms. Dennis created: LINK TO VIDEO 4:51 PLAYGROUND Signs have been placed around the St. Albans City School playground indicating that it is closed for the summer. We know this site is normally a magnet for children and families during summer days and evenings. Unfortunately, at the moment the playground cannot be sanitized frequently enough for safe and regular use.  Stephen Leach, one of the custodians, took a moment to pick up some of the rocks tossed into the playground space this last school year. He also collected rocks from the fields where they had been thrown and where they pose a danger to our lawnmowers. STUDENT BIRTHDAYS Families, feel free to share a picture (or provide permission for the school to find a picture) to go next to a birthdate.  mcraib@maplerun.org BIRTHDAYS JUNE 2020 NAME JUN PICTURE JUN PICTURE Michael Smalls 1 Ellie Descoteau 21 Brooks Quentin 1 Damien Ploof 21 Isabelle Gleason 2 William Cahill 22 Randall Stine 2 Tyler Bessette 23 Liliveve Cueto 4 Charles Luneau 23 Amber Poquette 4 Shaleya Francis 24 Eleanor Demore 5 Chloe Li 27 Nicholas Ferree 5 Theodore Sawyer 27 Merissa Masse 5 Kayden Thompson 27 Parker Richard 6 Chloey Boomhower 28 Jacoby Laplante 8 Simon George 29 Hanna Ouimette 10 Gavin Bluto 30 Aubrie Riley 10 Fayenna Chadwick 30 Reagan Lareau 11 Keliah Missouri 11 Karissa Ploof 11 Jillian Benoit 12 Katherine DeForge 13 Paul Clark 14 Camden Lareau 14 Adaley Pratt 14 Lauryn Johnson 17 Charlie Levine 17 Kayden Centerbar 18 Tucker Grant 18 James Petelle 18 Aleksys Potter 18 Colin Charbon 19 Isabel Steiner 19 Brady Cutting 20 Johnathan Lagrow 20 Angelina Centerbar 21
