Welcome Back!
It's hard to believe the 23-24 school year is already here! This past week we welcomed 5th graders to our building and we welcomed back our 6th, 7th, and 8th graders. The work to the grounds and the exterior of the building continues this week. We are looking forward to seeing the work completed soon!
Please remember to return all the forms in the Back to School packet as soon as possible. These packets include important medical, dismissal, and various other important documents needed to start the year smoothly.

School Breakfast/ Lunch Menu and Program
Welcome Back from the Nutrition Team!
Welcome back to another exciting year at RSU 18! Our talented Nutrition staff strive to prepare healthy, nourishing meals for our district’s students and staff each day. Watch the menus for new entrées this year. Breakfast is the most important meal of the day. Start your day the right way with a healthy breakfast. At the Middle School and High School, we will offer more entrée and a-la-cart choices.
I am pleased to announce the district will be receiving federal funds from USDA to operate a Fresh Fruit and Vegetable program in seven of our schools! The program is to increase the availability of free healthy snacks to the students each day. Atwood, Williams, China Primary, and China Middle School will continue their programs from last year and begin serving snacks on September 6th.
See you all at breakfast and lunch! Have a wonderful school year!
Barbara Bonnell, Nutrition Director
