A big THANK YOU to both groups for spending time with our students and adding a little extra fun to the lunchroom. We’re grateful for our wonderful community partners! 💙

Students in Bangor High School Spanish classes recently explored the rich traditions of Hispanic Heritage Month through a unique study of the Mariposa Monarca (Monarch Butterfly).
Students researched how millions of monarch butterflies migrate from the United States and Canada to central Mexico each year and learned about their special connection to Día de los Muertos. In many Mexican communities, the arrival of the monarch butterflies coincides with the holiday and is seen as a symbol of remembrance and connection to loved ones who have passed away.
The vibrant hallway display features student-created butterflies and research projects representing Spanish-speaking countries and cultures across the Americas. This colorful exhibit celebrates language, culture, history, and the incredible journey of the monarch butterfly.

Did you know? Maine law requires drivers to stop for a school bus with red lights flashing and stop arm extended. Taking a few extra moments to stop helps protect students as they board and exit the bus. Let's all do our part to keep children safe. #BusSafetyWeek #SafetyFirst
