Enjoy this weeks Vine Shine Report! https://secure.smore.com/n/j4r6k
On a sunny and cool October morning, seventh and eighth graders from the James F. Doughty School gathered on the middle school's soccer field to volunteer as coaches for the Vine Street Pre-K students. This heartwarming initiative, organized by Mrs. Robinson, Vine Street Pre-K, and Mrs. Robichaud, JFDS’s Phys. Ed. teacher, aims to promote physical fitness and belonging in our school community.
As fellow Mainers, it's important to come together and support one another. A win for Dexter means new turf, lights, and updated facilities, creating a safer environment for their athletes and a central gathering place for their community to cheer on their students. Imagine what our city would be like without Cameron Stadium and all of the opportunities that it has given our students.
Dexter is currently in third place, and they need our votes to rise to the top! You can vote every day until October 24th. Let’s rally around Dexter Regional High School and show our support. Every vote makes a difference!

Good luck, Dexter! Let’s bring this home for Maine! #VoteDexter #MaineStrong #WeAreBangor
