Big thank-you to the UMaine Men’s Hockey Team and Bananas the Black Bear for joining us at JFDS today during lunch!

Our lunch was BANANAS! The hockey team dropped in for a game of dodgeball, brought the energy, and even answered questions about their recent season and school majors. We loved having you here. Thanks for making today’s lunch one to remember!

Congratulations to BHS French teacher Marisue Schuiling, who was the 2026 recipient of Educators for a Multilingual Maine’s Sister Solange Lifetime Achievement Award. Sister Solange, a Lewiston native, dedicated her life to advancing world languages in Maine.
Marisue Shuiling’s career has been defined by excellence, steady leadership, and a genuine devotion to students and to world language instruction. Over decades, she has taught across middle school, high school, and post-secondary levels, producing strong student outcomes. Yet her impact extends far beyond test scores—she is known for the relationships she builds with students and colleagues.
Many former students return to her classroom to speak and mentor current learners. Their continued engagement reflects the lasting influence of her teaching and the cultural and language pathways she helped them discover beyond high school. As a colleague, Marisue has also helped shape a department culture grounded in shared support, collegial dialogue, and mutual respect built through consistency, trust, and effective leadership.
Congratulations on this well-deserved award.
