Superintendent's Welcome!
Greetings from RSU #24,
It is hard to believe that the end of October is within striking distance. The colors have been beautiful and the temperatures just right, crisp and cool! We are about 8 weeks into school and things seem to be running smoothly.
Believe it or not, we have already started the budget conversation for the 2027-2028 school year. We've had a couple of Finance and Budget Committee Meetings and discussed dates of upcoming meetings. The RSU Board of Directors recognizes that times are tough and, as a result, the conversations have also included how best to plan for the long-term fiscal sustainability of the district. This has not been and won't be an easy conversation. I am hopeful that we will be able to figure out how best to meet the needs of our students while balancing our communities ability to support those needs. The date, time, and location of our meetings can be found on our website (www.rsu24.org). The actual FY'28 Budget Workshops will take place on January 26, February 4, February 9, February 23, and March 4 and all meetings will take place at the District Services Facility unless otherwise noted on our website.
From the Sumner Athletic Boosters:
Get ready to light up the field, Tiger fans! Sumner Athletic Boosters invites the community to join our middle and high school soccer teams for a fun-
filled Glow-in-the-Dark Soccer Night this November! The exact date will be announced once the high school playoffs have concluded.
The evening will kick off at 4:00 p.m. with a middle school soccer game, followed by a high school game at 5:00 p.m. Teams will feature a mix of boys and girls, making this a fun opportunity for our athletes to come together and celebrate the end of another soccer season. This special event will also serve as the official kickoff for the Light Up the Field Project, an initiative to raise funds for a lighting system for the Sumner soccer field. The field is used by all of our teams, and adding lights would provide more opportunities for our student-athletes to practice
and play. Donations will be collected throughout the evening to help make this important community project a reality. There is no admission charge, so everyone is welcome to come out and enjoy the fun!
We encourage community members to bring a crockpot of their favorite tailgate food or another dish to share. Whether it's mac and cheese, baked beans, chili, or something sweet, let's make this a true Tiger community gathering! Sumner Athletic Boosters will provide hot chocolate and coffee to
help keep everyone warm. Bring your family, invite your friends, wear your Sumner blue, and come cheer on our student-athletes as they take the field for their final soccer games of the season. It's a great chance to celebrate our teams, support our athletes, and help get the Light Up the Field Project shining bright! Be sure to follow Sumner Athletic Boosters on Facebook for the official date, event updates, photos, and more information about the project.
Let's fill the field with Tiger pride and make this a night to remember!
Go Tigers!
