The Mason Saccarappa Lodge is once again sponsoring the Bikes for Books program throughout Westbrook's elementary schools. This program aims to motivate students to read with a chance to win a brand-new bike! Two students in each grade K-4 will be awarded a bike and helmet at each school. All students need to do to earn an entry is read either five short books or 100 pages. Submissions are due Monday, April 22nd.
Saccarappa's Student Council has organized a Sock Drive! The students are collecting new, unused socks for local families in need. Please consider supporting this initiative. The sock drive will continue until February 16th.
Thank you to everyone who attended the Winter Festival this past weekend. We had a lot of fun celebrating the start of winter with our Saccarappa School community.
Just a reminder of all of the food pantries available within the community. Translated copies of these resources can be found in the Saccarappa Thursday Folder. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/17h85yxch88uwizQbYr-hQozW74qsxYVE?usp=drive_link
It was an exciting last day on Wednesday! It started with a sing-along performance by the WHS Jazz Band and Chamber Singers, and then we celebrated being Safe, Ready, and Respectful with a whole school traveling dance party! Enjoy the break, and Happy Holidays, everyone!
Thank you to our friends from Altrusa for reading to our Kindergarten classes last week and letting each student choose a book to take home.
There is no school at Saccarappa today, December 19th, due to the power outage.
Because power has not yet been restored at Saccarappa School, there is NO SCHOOL today at Saccarappa. At all other schools, we will have a 2 hour delayed start. That means that schools will open two hours after their regular opening and buses will pick up students 2 hours later than their usual times. This will give crews time to address road conditions and power outages, and extra time to get to work and school. There are no PK classes. Breakfast will be available when students arrive.
Saccarappa School is dismissing at 1:45pm today due to a power outage. All other schools will dismiss on schedule at this point. We will let you know if this changes. Thank you for your patience as we get home safely today. Be safe!

Schools in Westbrook will be CLOSED again today, Friday, October 27. This is out of an abundance of caution as law enforcement agencies continue to investigate and search for the person responsible for the tragedy in Lewiston. A number of our staff also live in the Lewiston area and continue to be sheltered in place. Please keep everyone impacted by this tragedy in your thoughts and prayers. I will be in touch over the weekend as we all hope to return to school on Monday. Take care and be strong.
I am writing to let you know that we are planning to reopen all schools in Westbrook on Monday, October 30 with a regular schedule. We will do so with a heightened sense of awareness and security and, as an added precaution, the Westbrook Police Department will provide additional presence at our schools. We are ready to support all of our students with counselors, social workers, and student services staff throughout the day. I will let you know if developments over the weekend cause our plans to change. Otherwise, Monday will be a day of school. Please continue to keep the people of Lewiston, the victims and their families in your thoughts and prayers. As a Westbrook community, we will support and comfort our children and each other over the days and weeks ahead as our hearts begin to heal. Take care and be strong.
