Captain's Crew is hosting a donation drive to support the efforts of Maine Needs! We are collecting diapers, wipes, books (new or gently used) and gift cards. They set a goal to collect 100 items. We are only half way through and we are already blown away by the generosity of our community! Thank you!

145 students and staff wore flannel today for Flannel Friday 3.0 in support of juvenile diabetes awareness! We hope all our Rowe families have a most wonderful long weekend!

Mighty Reader will visit each kindergarten classroom to inspire our young readers as they start their journey toward becoming Super Readers. Mighty Reader will remind students of one superpower they already have, Pointer Power, or the ability to give each word on the page one tap. Mighty Reader will leave behind a special tool for their next reading superpower, Slider Power. Slider power is the ability to slide through the sounds of a word and blend them back together.

Students in Ms. Stewart's class engaged in a "writing museum" today where they all had the opportunity to check out and compliment their class-mates' writing!

We would like to wish all of our Rowe families a very Happy Thanksgiving! Check out some of our wonderful pumpkin art. This was a project in which first graders explored mixing colors. Have a most wonderful day!

Chewonki came to Rowe today! First Graders became owl experts and kinders became bat experts!

We held our very first Captain's Crew meeting! A group of first grade leaders met to discuss qualities of good leaders and ways they can each be leaders at school, with their friends, within their families and of themselves!

Thank you to all Rowe families who supported our PB&J partnership project with two seniors from YHS! Our school is able to donate 212 items to their food insecurity project!

Yarmouth Schools will return to normal operations, with activities resuming on Saturday morning and schools reopening on Monday morning. Superintendent Dolloff has sent a more extensive message by email to all district contacts.

Schools in Yarmouth will remain closed on Friday, October 27. Offices will also be closed, and no student activities will be held. Superintendent Dolloff will be providing a more extensive update to all staff and families later today.

Yarmouth Schools will be closed today - Thursday, October 26 - due to the shelter-in-place and ongoing search for a person of interest in last evening's tragedy in Lewiston that impacts many of our staff and families. All offices will be closed as we urge folks to remain off the roads as much as possible. Information on resources for supporting students and adults in the face of this tragedy will be shared by email later this morning.

Good evening - Please know that Yarmouth Schools are aware of the horrific situation in Lewiston and we are in communication with law enforcement. We will continue to monitor the situation and will make the best decisions we can regarding schools and the support we can provide for students and families in the coming days. We will communicate more early tomorrow morning.
