MSAD 41 Elementary Schools
Mrs. Chapman is requesting help gathering newspapers and egg cartons. If you have some of either that you will contribute please take or send them to the elementary school nearest you. Thank you.
Brownville Elementary Parent Alert
We want you to be aware because we care...we have several older boys who are only wearing sweatshirts out to recess. We all know how cold it's been so if you have a boy in Grades 4,5, and/or 6 please have that discussion with them. We go out unless the temperature or windchill is in single digits.
You may think they're wearing a coat, but often duty teachers are fighting that battle with them. They don't want to stay in, but they don't wear proper clothing either.
Teachers aren't unreasonable, and if it's "warmish" it's not a big deal. But 12-20 degrees ? They should have a coat. Thank you.
