Superintendent's Welcome!

Greetings from RSU #24,

 

It is hard to believe that we are close to the end of October and that the colder weather is just around the corner.  With roughly seven weeks of school completed, our schools seem to be operating smoothly and our students and staff settled in for the year.  

 

The RSU Board of Directors approved our strategic plan that will serve the district through 2030.  After soliciting feedback from the various stakeholder groups, the mission statement is as follows:

 

"Regional School Unit No. 24 educates all students through relevant and engaging instruction to become lifelong learners and contributing citizens."

 

And the mission statement:

 

"Regional School Unit No. 24 will empower every Pre-K through adult learner to reach their full potential in a supportive, inclusive, and future-ready learning
environment. Through innovation, collaboration, and high expectations, we will cultivate curiosity, character, and a commitment to lifelong learning and community engagement."

 

In the coming weeks, we will be sharing the complete strategic plan and I encourage you to check it out to understand the focus of our work moving forward.

 

From the Sumner Sports Boosters:

The Sumner Athletics Boosters has had a busy and rewarding fall season supporting our student-athletes through concessions at soccer and volleyball games. Our year-long goal is to provide a Sumner Athlete sweatshirt to every participating student — a symbol of pride in our teams and school spirit. We’re proud to say that middle and high school athletes from soccer, volleyball, and cross country proudly wore their Sumner blue this fall!

As we look ahead to winter, we’re gearing up to support basketball, cheering, and indoor track. Our main fundraising efforts during this season include running concessions at all middle and high school home games. Basketball season, in particular, draws strong crowds from both home and visiting teams, making this an essential part of our fundraising.

We would be incredibly grateful for any community support — whether it’s volunteering in the concession stand alongside a Booster or donating baked goods or hot crockpot meals. Every contribution helps make our efforts successful and directly benefits our student-athletes.

If you’re interested in helping, please contact:

If email isn’t your preferred method of contact, feel free to call Sumner Memorial High School at 207-422-3510, and we’ll gladly get back to you.

Thank you for considering the Sumner Athletics Boosters, a group worthy of your time and support!

We are certainly blessed to have this group working to support our students!!!!

 

For those planning ahead, we do not have school on Tuesday, November 11th in honor of Veterans Day.  A heartfelt thanks to all that have served our country!  In addition, we do not have school on November 26, 27, and 28 as we take a break for Thanksgiving.

 

Thank you for your continued support of the school district.  Should you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to me at [email protected].

 

Sincerely,
