Asa C. Adams School Newsletter
June 2023
Dear Asa Families,
June is here and it's almost an unreal revelation that the 2022-2023 school year is coming to an end. It has been such a privilege and honor to serve as the principal of Asa C. Adams, and for Ms. West to serve as the assistant principal in this flagship year together. We have had the pleasure of supporting students, families, and staff to continue making our school the best place for teaching and learning to take place.
We very much look forward to the work ahead and continuing to move this unique, brilliant school community into the future. In the meanwhile, we hope that you and your family look forward to the many joys that summer break may bring and that you are able to take this time to rejuvenate while enjoying the pleasure of summer time in Maine.
Finally, even though it may be summer...we are here if you need us. Happy summer!
Sincerely,
Ms. Wyman and Ms. West
