Dear Parents,
We are having a celebration! The 100th day of school is scheduled to be Thursday February 11th and we want to celebrate by raising donations for the Acton Food pantry and other programs in need. A school-wide assembly is planned for Thursday February 25th at 1:30 PM. We would love to have all donations to the classrooms before that day for counting. Staff and students are also planning many no cost activities. Parents are all welcome to come.

On Jan. 14th, Acton Elementary held its annual Scripps Middle School spelling bee. After several spell off rounds, Ryan Gonneville placed first, Kyla Rawding placed second and Jennifer Calnan placed third. Congratulations to our winning spellers! The first and second place winners of the bee will represent Acton Elementary at the York County regional spelling bee, which will be held at Wells Jr. High on February 9th. We would like to thank the Acton Education Association for sponsoring the bee in memory of Julia Smith.

Do you know of teachers who have had trouble incorporating the MLTI laptops into their curriculum because they lack basic computer skills or are fearful of using computers? The Education Program at the University of Maine at Machias, with funding from the National Science Foundation, is planning a special workshop and technical support program especially for them, and they need to hear from interested teachers!

Dear Acton Community,
As many of you know, I am nearing the end of my pregnancy. My husband and I are expecting our first child over Thanksgiving break. While I am thrilled to meet this new member of my family, it is also a priority of mine to ensure that students here have consistency and are well supported in my absence. I plan on being here at school until Thanksgiving break. Starting November 30th, Bess Keirnan will be filling in as the long-term school counseling substitute. Mrs. Kiernan is a Maine state certified school counselor with a masters degree in counseling. She previously worked at Wells Junior High School as a school counselor and has a variety of experiences working with children of all ages. In the last few weeks she has spent time in the building both getting acquainted with the school counseling program and students, as well as substituting for other teachers in the building. We feel very lucky to have her!
Mrs. Kiernan will be covering for me until February vacation and will be running all aspects of the counseling program including guidance classes, small groups, and individual counseling/check-ins. She will also be available to consult with parents/guardians. After November 30, she can be contacted by email at
This e-mail address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it
or by phone at 636-2100 *105. I will be returning to school on February 22nd. While I am at home with my new baby, Mrs. Kiernan will be able to check in with me as needed. I will be available to offer support in the event of a crisis or to provide background information on a struggling student.
I will be thinking of all of you as I change diapers and do frequent feedings. Have a safe and happy holiday season!
Sincerely,
Brianne Gallagher
Acton School Counselor

Free dial-up home internet access is available again this year for all of your 7th and 8th grade students (or high school students if you are a MLTI 1:1 high school) who are eligible for free or reduced price lunch. We have tried to make the application and set-up procedures as quick and easy as possible in order to maximize the number of students participating in the program.
