✨Today and tomorrow, our Dunn 4th graders head to UMaine 4-H Camp & Learning Center at Bryant Pond for a day of adventure, team building, and tons of outdoor fun!

Parents, families, and friends, this annual 4th grade field trip is sponsored by the Dunn Patriot Parents PTO and it's the direct result of your donations and your volunteer time throughout the course of the year that allow us to sponsor trips like this one.

Do you remember Math Olympics back in January? Because of the success of fundraisers like the Math Olympics, we are thrilled to able to support outstanding educational opportunities like the trip to Bryant Pond. THANK YOU for your support!!

So...expect your kiddo(s) to come home tired, dirty, and full of awesome stories to tell you about their day of outdoor adventures and exploration! It's a day they'll remember for many, many years to come.

✨💖 It’s the end of Staff Appreciation Week in the GNG schools and it sure was a busy one!

With a special Patriot Parents-sponsored event going on each day at every school, we celebrated our teachers, ed techs, administrative staff, custodial staff, and transportation crew in all the best ways!

We capped today off with a big lunch for all of the Dunn staff with stacks of pizza, apps, salads, desserts, and cases of Spindrift to send the staff home with full bellies.

Our ability to support a full week of events like this for our entire district’s staff couldn’t be done without the help of donations throughout the year by YOU, the families and friends of our students. THANK YOU for helping us do this!! You are the best!

And of course, very grateful thank you goes out to Thompson's Orchard and Aroma Joe's Coffee (Gray) for all of your generous donations to help make our “Donut We’d Do Without You” breakfasts at all of the schools so delicious and caffeinated!”
