๐Ÿฆ… Our River Hawk had quite the summer before joining us back at Skowhegan Area Middle School!

From meal planning in the kitchen ๐Ÿด to setting sail on an Alaskan cruise ๐Ÿšข โ€ฆ from learning big ideas at a leadership conference ๐ŸŒŸ to soaking up the sun at the beach ๐Ÿ–๏ธ โ€ฆ even helping with recycling โ™ป๏ธ and fitting in a round of golf โ›ณ โ€” the River Hawk stayed busy!

Now, just a few days into the school year, we can already feel that same excitement and energy in our classrooms. Itโ€™s been a fantastic first week back, and we canโ€™t wait to see what this year brings. ๐Ÿงก

Hereโ€™s to soaring high in 2025!
