Kate Furbish Elementary School Library Named the Margaret M. Soule Library
The Brunswick School Board recently voted to name the library at Kate Furbish Elementary School in honor of long time elementary librarian, Margaret M. Soule. Margy closed and reopened a library twice due to the merging of elementary schools and was instrumental in designing the new library at Kate Furbish School. Combining numerous libraries into one high quality K-2 library is no small feat. Her skill and enthusiasm for teaching children to love books and libraries was unparalleled.

Brunswick's Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee
Are you a parent who walks, bikes or strolls your student to school? Does your child walk or bike to school themselves? Would you or your child be more likely to walk or bike to school if there was a safe pedestrian or bicycle route available?
If you answered yes to any of the above questions, we would like to hear from you. Brunswick’s Bicycle and Pedestrian Committee, a subcommittee of the Town Council, is embarking upon a Safe Routes to School plan and we need parent input.
Please email bikewalk@brunswickme.org with any insights you would like to provide concerning your child’s route to school. Please include the name of your student’s school and any other specific information regarding the route to school ... ex. Indicate crosswalks, crossing guards, bike lanes (or lack of any of the aforementioned).
Thanks and we hope to hear from you.
