Dear RSU 74 Board Members,

February may have been a short month, but it was certainly packed with energy, activity, and meaningful moments at Carrabec Community School.

In the days leading up to Valentine’s Day, the PTO offered carnations for students to purchase and share with peers. This small but heartfelt gesture helped students add joy and spread kindness throughout the building.

The student leadership team, with support from Mrs. Day and the PTO, planned and hosted a Valentine’s Day Dance for all CCS middle school students. This was a fully student‑organized event, and the leadership team did a fantastic job creating a fun, welcoming, and well‑run evening for their classmates.

We once again held the annual Staff vs. Student Basketball Game, a tradition that always brings excitement and school spirit. Our eighth‑grade basketball players put forth an impressive effort and kept the game competitive from start to finish. Their teamwork, sportsmanship, and determination was great to see.

Grade 5 students participated in the annual district team‑building ski trip to Sugarloaf, a highlight of the winter season. Students enjoyed time outdoors, strengthened peer relationships, and represented CCS with pride.

This month also brought moments of hardship for several members of our school community. A number of students experienced significant loss and tragedy within their families. In true Carrabec fashion, staff, families, and community members have come together to support these students and their loved ones during an incredibly difficult time.

We are also saying goodbye to our wonderful secretary, Jenah Leeman, who will be leaving us at the end of the month. Miss Leeman has been a welcoming presence in our front office, and she will be missed; we wish her all the best in her next chapter.

February may have flown by, but it was filled with connection, celebration, and community. We look forward to what March will bring as we continue supporting the growth and well‑being of every student at Carrabec Community School.

Sincerely,

Geoffrey Case
