Fairmount students participated in the second annual Change Challenge this week to raise money for our Care Closet, and the results were incredible! We are deeply grateful for the amazing participation and generosity shown by our students and families. It was a wonderful reminder that small things can make a BIG difference when a community comes together. We are so proud of our Falcons! #WeAreBangor

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!

What happens when a school yard becomes a living classroom? In this episode of Beyond the Bell, Dr. Marie Robinson and Sara Luciano welcome members of the Bangor School Garden Network to explore why school gardens matter and what’s growing across the Bangor School Department. Together, they discuss how gardens go far beyond vegetables—creating meaningful connection to nature, strengthening belonging and teamwork, and helping students build curiosity, persistence, and confidence.

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.
