Congratulations to Mr. Anderson's 5th grade class for winning the Box Tops contest! 

Christine DesVergnes brought the first group of ink cartridges to Staples for  recycling.  Many ideas were given as to how to divvy up the money that is raised.  One idea was to put the money back into the school store to show a higher profit there.   
    Mrs. Antrim will be going shopping for playground equipment to put in the new playground box.  Some ideas for what she should purchase with the allotted money were: sandbox toys, kickballs, basketballs, soccer  balls and a pump to keep the balls in good shape


The blue slide on the playground needs to be replaced.  The gametime company estimates it will cost $2000 to replace the slide.  Mrs. Durgin will get other prices on the slide, and the cost of another sand table.  She will see if it is possible to get a partition to block off the blue slide for now.   


Muffins with mom will be May 6th for grades K-2 and May 7th for grades 3-5 It runs from 7:45 – 8:30 AM in the school cafeteria.

Donuts with Dad will be June 10th  for grades K-2 and June 11th for grades 3-5. It runs from 7:45 – 8:30 AM in the school cafeteria. 


A motion was made to give prizes at these activities – 3 gift cards to Hannaford will be raffled at Muffins for mom and 3 gas cards will be raffled at donuts with dad.

Samantha Waters would like someone to volunteer to help her with these activities so they know how to do it for next year.   


A motion was made to allow $200 of PTC money for heavy duty laminating materials for items that need to be laminated on the heavy duty laminator.  
  • Melissa Antrim gave details on the upcoming fifth grade field trip to the Museum of Science in Boston.  The total cost will be $1262.00.  The PTC voted to pay for this trip at a prior meeting. 
Fifth grade recognition night will be discussed at an upcoming meeting.

Please join us on March 9th at Waterboro Elementary at 6:30 p.m., for an opportunity to
communicate your concerns regarding recent cuts to the funding of education, to the
people who represent you in Augusta. This is our chance to come together with a united
