Tremont School has kicked off it's annual recharge program for students. This program is an after school event that is open to all Tremont students. The program is designed to get students outside and moving after school.

On Saturday, April 27th students from Tremont School participated in the District VI Honors Festival at Jonesport Beals High School.

About this time last year Tremont students were introduced to the concept of a nature playscape and shown a wooded area next to the school between the greenhouse and bus garage. Students of all ages were given the opportunity to dream big about what their ideal playscape would include. They came up with some fantastic ideas that included an outdoor classroom, huts constructed from willow branches and a "working waterfront" play area. After months of planning, we are now ready to begin preparing the site! This new play area will be constructed for our community with our own hands and we need your help. Come and join the Playscape Team and the Tremont PTO for a work party! Our first step is to clean up and clear the chosen site adjacent to the school. A work party has been scheduled for Saturday, May 11th from 8 a.m. to 3 p.m. The goal for the day is to clear the area of debris and overgrowth. All are welcome! Come for all or part of the day. A pancake breakfast and a mid morning snack will be provided. We are asking people to bring any or all of the following: shovels, rakes, trowels, maddocks, laupers, handsaws, work gloves and a picnic table. Please contact Kreg McCune at 244-0554 with any questions.

Our staff and students were sorry to say goodbye to Judy, our part-time janitor and cook. She has developed some wonderful friendships with many of our students. It was a sad day when they had to say goodbye this past Wednesday. We all wish Judy the best in her next adventure and we want to say a HUGE THANKS for all she has done for our school!

Tremont School will be offering a Summer School program! It will be Tuesdays and Thursdays 8:30-11:30 a.m. from July 8th to August 2nd. Students who need help with their reading, writing and math should take advantage of this time to reinforce their learning from the school year. There will be a certified Special Education teacher and an Ed Tech III to give direct instruction. There will not be a school bus, but we will offer reimbursement for mileage for those parents who need assistance in transporting their own children. Please don't hesitate to contact Pam Bush with any questions. In addition, we would like to know which students are going to attend so the staff members are prepared. Please contact Pam Bush by Friday, May 24th at the latest.

On Tuesday, May 21st award winning children's author Lynn Plourde will be spending the day working with our students. There will be much more to come about her visit, but this early notification gives parents an opportunity to purchase her books if they wish to have them autographed. Mrs. Dow has several of her books in the Library that you are welcome to come look at. Her graphic novel, Lost Trails, which was written in conjunction with Donn Fendler recently won the Maine Student Book Award.
