Check out the Next Superintendent Notebook: Times Record Article -- Link in Bio to Read Food is Fuel, Especially for Young, Growing Bodies Healthy meals are critical to our children's well-being and academic success, and ensuring that our students, PK-12, enjoy tasty and nutritious meals is a priority for the Brunswick School Department (BSD). The National Institutes of Health (NIH) warns that poor nutrition during childhood and adolescence can delay growth and create a high risk of chronic diseases in adulthood. Healthy meals are especially important during the adolescent growth spurt. Scott Smith, Director of Facilities, Grounds, and Food Service at BSD, and his team work hard to offer a variety of healthy menu items that kids will eat. The federally-funded free breakfast and lunch program ensures that all students enjoy two nourishing meals each school day, and the number we serve has doubled in the past three years. #teambrunswickme #maineschoolsuperintendent

To reach their goal, they have to check books out during library class or during browsing times, which are first thing in the morning or at the end of each day. #maineschoolsuperintendent #teambrunswickme HBS is a community of readers! Way to go!

AP Art and Design and Photography 2 Field Trip Brunswick High School AP Art and Design and Photography 2 students visited the Center for Maine Contemporary Art. Students had the opportunity to examine the work on display and create mixed media work in the art lab. A highlight of the visit was seeing the work by a former BHS alumna, Kyle Downs, who creates art from discarded basketballs. His work appears as colorful geometric tapestry designs until careful inspection reveals the tiny textured surface of the balls. Teachers: Jennie Driscoll and Colleen Kearney-Graffam. Quotes from the trip - " What I liked about the contemporary art museum was that we had to think about the art more than just enjoy the piece; you had to use your brain. " "I liked that we saw new art styles and materials used that we had not considered before." #teambrunswickme #maineschoolsuperintendent #brunswickmaine

Maine Medical Mentors Program Guest Speaker On Nov. 18th, four residents from the Maine Medical Mentors program spoke with Ms. King's Human Anatomy classes. The residents are students at the Tufts School of Medicine that partners with Maine Medical Center for physician training. The residents presented a case study to students, discussed their path into the medical field, and then went to the lab with students to show them how to take a patient's blood pressure, and test patellar and pupillary reflexes. The Maine Mentors Program runs a program called Inside Medicine that holds monthly meetings virtually. The program is full for this academic year but students interested in the program will have an opportunity to participate in the program this summer or next year. #teambrunswickme #maineschoolsuperintendent
