Western Day!
The Southern Aroostook Community School After School Program Ski4Life has partnered with Big Rock Mountain to offer free or reduced cost for rental equipment, transportation, as well as skiing instruction to students in grades 3-12. This is a wonderful opportunity that many students would not get due to financial issues or lack of transportation.
Some of the funds for Ski4Life are covered by the 21st Century CCLC ASP grant as well as RSU#50. However, grant funds have been reduced significantly this year and the SACS ASP Program is looking to raise $1000 for Ski4Life!
If you are able, please consider making a contribution to this worthy program. Thank you!!
Theme day for Wednesday, 2/16/22 is Western/Country theme. Cowboy hats are welcome for the day!
