The past couple of years the PTA have asked students to sell Yankee Candle items in order to raise money. This year we have decided to do a 'No Frills' fundraiser. Many of you may be familiar with this idea. Instead of asking families to buy and sell items, we are looking for families to simply make a donation. Please click here for the details. As with any fundraiser, we thank you very much for your support!
South Portland School Department Phone Drive: Donate your old phone to help the SPSD InfoTech Department bring new and exciting technology to classrooms around the district!
What do we need?
● Use with VR headsets so students can take virtual field trips.
● Connect with Twitter or other social media platforms to share classroom learning in real time.
● Use as a controller for robotics or drones.
Where can you bring your phones?
First wipe your phone by doing a factory reset, then bring it to any of the schools in the district. There will be drop off boxes in the front offices.
Questions? Please contact Meg Blakemore at Dyer Elementary School, blakemme@spsdme.org
*phones that are not used will be responsibly recycled

Each day there are 2 adult to supervise and support students. Please note that only students who plan on using this time productively are welcome.

A big thank you to everyone who helped to make last night’s Mahoney’s Got Talent a great success!! To Ms. Beardsley, Mrs. Raymond, Mrs. Barry and Mr. Kozaka for making it possible and to the students who put the time and effort into creating a show that was amazing and incredibly entertaining--especially to those 8th graders who choreographed the dance moves for Mrs. Rioux, Mrs. Thornfeldt, Ms. Milton, Mr. Patashnik, Mr. Nee, Mr. Peluso, Mr. Ouellet and Mrs. Stilphen. Thanks to you all, we looked pretty good up there on stage!
