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.

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.

This week is Fire Safety week! Pre-K and Kindergarten students get to visit with a fire truck and ambulance today and first graders get to visit the fire station later this week! A huge thank you to Yarmouth's incredible Fire Department for making this happen for our young learners.
