Third graders attempted to build a catapult without and instructions. They found it very challenging and were unsuccessful. After discussing what they needed, they were given an article about what a catapult is and instructions. Realizing one of the powers of reading is learning how to do new things! We also discussed how in non-fiction pictures help us better understand. They successfully built a catapult and launched marshmallows across the room.
Second graders build teamwork skills by completing the "Saving Sam" challenge.

AOS 93 has one or more schools that participate in Special Provision II or Community Eligible Provision for school meals. This alternative is referred to as Provision II or CEP. All students enrolled in schools listed below may participate in the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program at no charge. Household applications are not required to receive free meals this year but Economic Status Forms will be distributed by the school to collect household income data for other programs that require this information, such as Federal Title programs. The Economic Status Forms are also available in the online registration on the "Agreements" page.
All students will be served breakfast and lunch at no charge at Bristol Consolidated, Great Salt Bay, Jefferson Village, Nobleboro Central and South Bristol Schools. For additional information please contact your student's school.
Studies show that children who are not hungry perform better in school. By providing both breakfast and lunch at no cost to students, we are helping to create a better learning environment.
The school meals that we serve follow U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school meals. The School Breakfast and Lunch Programs cannot succeed without your support; please encourage your children to participate in the school meals programs.
The application requesting economic information supports many programs at our schools which helps reduce the local tax. Please complete and return the forms. Only one per family is needed.
GSB is proud to announce that this year we will be launching a new program for girls in 6th - 8th grade called Girls on the Run: Heart & Sole!
Heart & Sole addresses the whole girl: body, brain, heart, spirit, and social connection. The program supports girls in building critical life skills such as team building, developing a support system, boundary setting, decision making, positively impacting others, and asking for and providing help. For 10 practices over 8 weeks, girls will have fun, make friends, increase their physical activity levels and learn important life skills. Trained and caring coaches lead 6th - 8th-grade girls through interactive lessons and movement activities. The season ends with a celebratory 5K event on November 10th! The program starts on 9/16 and goes to 11/10. Practices are on Mondays from 3:00-5:00pm, with two additional Wednesday practices on 9/18 and 9/25.
