A Way to Connect

As a school board member my ultimate goal is to do what is best to support the education of our island children. I have created this blog as a space for all of us to share ideas and information, ask questions, seek answers, and support our school system in becoming one of the best in the state. We live in an area rich with local culture and unique in its diverse opportunity, it's time that we realize the full potential of all Deer Isle-Stonington has to offer.

This blog is a work in process. As I am able to assess interest, I will work to maintain the blog in a way that is most effective for public use.

I look forward to hearing from everyone,

Amanda Larrabee

Wonderful blog and many thanks to Amanda! I have read all emails and see there are many good ideas. I think what really needs to happen is to have all the parents of kids taking the SAT this year be involved and sold on the importance of the test. How? phone calls are easiest. I feel missing parent involvement is the key here and we need to educate the families. I am trying to get more parents at our next April 14 meeting. If everyone brought a new parent,we could spread the word more effectively. Unfortunately, not everyone reads the paper or reads letters home from school. We need to become personal. I am willing to help...Peggy Zembrusky
