Welcome to Bus Safety Week in the Yarmouth Schools, culminating with Bus Driver Appreciation Day on Friday! Students will be participating in bus safety drills throughout the week, and we encourage all automobile drivers to rededicate themselves to watching for buses, bikers, and pedestrians as our students travel to and from school each day.

This afternoon our Language Arts teachers took part in a professional development activity similar to rock/paper/scissors, based on the first line(s) of the book they are currently reading. We learned that this is an engaging way to stimulate student interest in multiple books!

We have well over 100 bikers a day at HMS - about 1/3 of our students! We can also identify this amount as .333 or 33.3%. We love to see so many of our students biking and walking to school. We also love math!

Sailing Opportunity! The Yarmouth High School sailing team is excited to share the joy of sailing with potential sailors. The SailMaine program is open to anyone, including novices. There are scholarships for equipment, and the community is well supported. This is a great opportunity for children who live in Yarmouth to learn a lifelong sport. The HS team is holding a "take a friend sailing" event, with their SailMaine coaches, on Monday, May 22. We would love to extend this invitation to the HMS community, especially 8th graders who might consider (and not be aware of ) this great opportunity to sail in high school. All equipment will be provided. If interested, contact Michelle Dietz at: michellej.dietz@gmail.com. Monday's event will be from 2:45-6pm.
