Our very own Emma Curtis has earned the distinction of being the 2022 Maine State winner of the national Bonnie Plants’ 3rd Grade Cabbage Program! Last year, Emma and all of our third grade students received a cabbage to bring home and care for. Emma and her family tended to her cabbage and even transplanted it to another garden so that it could thrive. Her cabbage weighed in at 3lbs 6 + ounces when they harvested it this fall. We are so proud of Emma going above and beyond for this wonderful learning opportunity!

My name is Toni Hallett and I am the new Administrative Assistant at the George Weatherbee School. I grew up in West Enfield and graduated from Penobscot Valley High School. I received my Bachelor’s Degree in Elementary Education and Master’s Degree in Literacy Education, both from the University of Maine. I have worked as a classroom teacher, as well as a Literacy Interventionist. I stepped away from teaching in 2011 to start my family and moved to Hampden in 2018 with my husband and three children.

Please send your student with winter gear (coats, boots, snow pants, hats and mittens) each day. This ensures that your student can fully participate in recess and PE activities comfortably. If you need any resources, please let us know at wboffice@rsu22.us.

The Discover Church in Hampden donated a generous bag of vacation snacks and meals for families in our Backpack Program. Grateful for a generous community!
