Trimester 2 Report Cards went home with students on Friday. If you would like a copy mailed or emailed to you, please contact Maureen Mooney (mmooney@rsu16.org or 998-3462). If we have a second address on file, report cards will be mailed out early this week.
----------------------------
There is no makeup date for the Grade 7 Career Fair. If we get snowed out on Tuesday, the event will be canceled for this year.

Mr. King: Whittier Athletics
- Registration is open on FamilyID.com. Please sign up now for spring sports so we can estimate numbers.
- Practices will begin for baseball and softball on April 3. There will not be any required practices during April break. We begin our game schedule April 25.
- Outdoor Track begins April 10. We have two home meets for Outdoor Track this season. Our first is April 27.
- Middle school lacrosse is an option for those that wish to play. We have a cooperative opportunity with Gray New Gloucester Middle School (boys and girls). Families are responsible for providing transportation to practices and games. For away games, they will need to get to GNG to meet the bus. We are hoping for two teams this season for boys.
We are looking for a boys middle school soccer coach for the fall, as well as a field hockey coach for middle school.
