On Tuesday, Southern Aroostook Community School was filled with pride as we celebrated the incredible accomplishments of our middle school students and officially marked a major milestone for our oldest group!
We kicked off the day by honoring the hard work, perseverance, and outstanding academic success our middle school students have demonstrated throughout the entire school year.
We also held a great completion ceremony and slideshow for our 8th graders! Congratulations to these amazing students as they officially close their middle school chapters. Next stop: high school! We are so excited to see you step up as the high school Class of 2030.
A big shoutout and thank you goes to our phenomenal middle school staff. Thank you for your tireless dedication to our students all year long, and for putting together such a wonderful celebration of learning for our students, parents, and community members.
Thank you to all the families who joined us on Tuesday to make this day so special!
