AFSCME Local 2010 Inaugural Summer Barbeque
☀️ Good food, great weather, and even better company!
The AFSCME Union took advantage of a beautiful day to gather at the high school outdoor space for a BBQ filled with laughter, connection, and camaraderie.
Staff enjoyed burgers, hot dogs, chips, water, and delicious desserts while spending a couple hours together away from the daily routine. A little cornhole, some frisbee, and a lot of conversations made for a fantastic afternoon!
Thank you to everyone who helped make it a fun and memorable event. Moments like these remind us how special our school community truly is. ❤️

Happy BSD Shredding Day! 🗂️
Of course, we follow all state and federal records retention requirements, but there’s something satisfying about clearing out archived files once they’ve reached the end of their required retention period. It’s a great way to free up valuable storage space, stay organized, and ensure we’re managing district records responsibly.
Here’s to a little extra room and a lot of secure shredding! ♻️ #BrunswickSchools #BSDProud #RecordsManagement #Organization
The following RFP's are in effect at Brunswick School Department.
FY27 High School 1st Floor Window Project - deadline August 28th
FY27 High School Roofing Project - deadline August 7th

Planning for an amazing 2026–2027 school year is officially underway! 💙💚
This week, our Sources of Strength peer leaders spent part of their summer giving back to our school community by planning events and activities for the year ahead—all while earning community service hours.
Sources of Strength is a peer-led suicide prevention and mental wellness program that empowers students and adult advisors to work together to build resilience, break the code of silence, and strengthen the protective factors that help young people thrive. This week, students collaborated to develop activities centered around each of the eight Sources of Strength: family support, positive friends, mentors, healthy activities, generosity, spirituality, physical health, and mental health.
We are so grateful for the time, creativity, and leadership these students brought this week. We can't wait to share all of the exciting events and initiatives they have planned for our school community this year!

The HBS Garden recently donated 4 pounds of fresh speckled romaine lettuce to the MidCoast Hunger Prevention Program. @MCHPP
Thanks to Kim Bolshaw’s care and dedication, produce that might otherwise go unused is being harvested and donated to help provide fresh, healthy food to members of our community.
Thank you, Kim, for helping our garden grow kindness and nourish our community—one harvest at a time! 💚
