A local family experienced a devastating house fire this morning, and their home has been deemed a total loss. As we come together to support them during this incredibly difficult time, please keep in mind that their temporary housing has limited space.
The family has shared a wish list of immediate clothing needs (see below). In addition to clothing, we suggest donating gift cards, which allow the family the flexibility to purchase items like food, clothing, and other essentials.

Suggested gift cards: Hannaford, Walmart, Target, TJ Maxx, local restaurants, think local!

It is with great excitement and pride that we announce the recipients of the Model Mustang Staff Award for the month of March! This award is a tribute to those outstanding individuals who embody the qualities of a true “Model Mustang”; they inspire, lead, foster positivity, persevere, and excel in all that they do. Each Model Mustang was nominated by colleagues who took the time to acknowledge and celebrate their coworkers’ exceptional contributions to our district. Their hard work and commitment have not gone unnoticed, and we are grateful for the positive impact they have within RSU 57! This month's raffle winner is Kayla Midolo, 1st Grade Teacher at Waterboro Elementary! "Kayla is a wonderful teacher and valuable colleague. She is an important team member to the WES staff and provides great ideas for her first grade team. She is able to balance both structure and fun into her teaching. She has a kind demeanor and her students absolutely love her. The way she teaches has created students that love to learn, a skill they will carry with them throughout their lives."

Congratulations to all of this month's Model Mustangs! https://drive.google.com/file/d/1LXC2XCiPijGGHykvOthdCdARXy9DGtVP/view?usp=sharing

Massabesic Adult and Community Education (MACE) is proud to celebrate the 19 graduates who have earned their high school equivalency (HiSET) since July 1, 2024—with 8 more students on track to graduate before the end of this school year. Earning a high school credential opens the door to a wide range of opportunities. Our recent MACE graduates are considering career paths in fields like education, construction, electrical work, CNC machining, and military service. A high school diploma or equivalency is more than just a piece of paper—it’s a critical stepping stone toward a stable, meaningful career. In fact, 63% of jobs in the U.S. require at least a high school diploma, and individuals who earn theirs see, on average, a 53% increase in income over ten years. Whether you're looking for a better job, a more consistent schedule, or a fresh start, completing your high school credential is a powerful first step. We invite the entire community to join us in celebrating the accomplishments of these hardworking individuals at our upcoming graduation ceremony on June 18. All are welcome to attend. Contact Massabesic Adult and Community Education at 207-247-2022 to begin your journey today!
