Chief Meehan and EMT Rudnicki Stop For Lunch at Hanson School Summer Meals Program.

 

Today Chief Daniel Meehan and Lebanon EMT / Firefighter Windy Rudnicki dropped in for lunch at the Hanson School. Summer Camp Students at the school were happy and surprised when the Chief and EMT sat down to lunch with them, sharing turkey and cheese sandwiches on whole wheat rolls (although the Chief asked for the PB&J Uncrustables but Miss Penny advised him they were all out).

Chief Dan spoke to a table full of boys about such things as fire trucks, hoses and ladders.

 

 

EMT Windy spoke the group of children she sat with about what to do if there should ever be a fire, and how to

STOP, DROP and ROLL

should their clothing ever be on fire.

 

 

All of the children were very receptive to the Chief and firefighter as they enjoyed chatting and eating together. All Lebanon residents are invited to enjoy the School Meals Program. You never know WHO is going to drop by!!

MSAD60 School Nutriton Program ROCKS, Offering Breakfasts & Lunch to ALL Lebanon Residents Regardless of Age or Financial Standing.

As I get off the phone with the MSAD60 School Nutrition Program's Assistant Director, Karen Ward, I can't help but smile.
There really IS a movement out there to give folks the multi-generational chance to share a sense of community, and this Summer, it's showing up at Lebanon's Hanson School Cafeteria.
MSAD60, funded by Federal program dollars and guided by the State of Maine, is offering Breakfast and Lunch to ALL residents of Lebanon!!
From July 6th through August 6th, the MSAD60 Summer School Nutrition Program is offering a Breakfast and Lunch menu from Monday through Thursday.

Breakfast served from 8:00 am - 8:30 am

Lunch served from 11:30 am - 12:30 pm

 

Breakfast and Lunch

FREE to all Children in grades K-12

Breakfast $2.50 per adult

Lunch $4.50 per adult

 

You don't have to show ID, you don't have to be on State or Federal aid. You can just go on down to the Hanson School and enjoy breakfast or lunch and enjoy spending time with others from your community. 

MSAD60 School Nutrition Director, Lynnette Harriman, oversees the menu and staffing needs and has put together a full month's worth of delicious and nutritious meals for this Summer's program!

What a wonderful opportunity for the Seniors in town to have a chance to interact with local youngsters!! An equally opportunistic chance for Moms to give children a chance to maintain school social connections throughout the Summer or to have some "Mom Time" while the children enjoy a nutritious lunch together.

This is a win, win, win for Lebanon residents!!

Lebanon Elementary School and Hanson School "Celebration of Learning" a Successful Event to Showcase Education.

A wonderful time was had by all attendees at the Lebanon Elementary School and Hanson School on Upper Guinea Road tonight as the children showcased their work in a "Celebration of Learning".
Both schools were open to the public and the hallways and classrooms had become a sea of artwork, photographs, tri-fold presentations and places for people to sit and chat with their neighbors and their children's teachers.
The Kindergarten classroom presented a "Healthy Snacks for You" exhibit, while Grade 1 had produced "Birds of Lebanon" calendars which were for sale for a $5 donation. The Second Grade had a "What Crawls, Jumps or Flies in Our State of Maine" project and Grade 3 showed off all they had learned about wolves. They've actually adopted one wolf, which they have named "Bandit" and were selling "PROTECT WOLVES" bracelets in order to raise the funds to adopt as many more as possible.

 

Of particular interest was the Fourth Grade's National Parks exhibit, with a lot of artwork and information on saving our National Parks and how to go about becoming a voice for future legislation. Our Grade 5 students have been learning about the Revolutionary War, and have also done many projects on newspaper reporting, even going as far as to print a Revolutionary War Era style newspaper, and learning about tea staining documents to make them resemble old paperwork. Their work, entitled "What is Worth Fighting For?" was very interesting and had many people reading and acknowledging the in depth study and reporting styles.

 

Ms. Mangan's Class had done a special "Insect Unit" presentation, and Ms. Howards Class presented a "Living the Code" Board Game.

There were many chuckles regarding the Lebanon Elementary School Green Team's presentation of a robot-looking fellow made from recycled materials. However, there were a lot of people taking pride in the fact that our Elementary School won the "School of the Year" for 2015 for their recycling efforts!!

 

There was a neat presentation by the Hanson School Resource Room students on "Wolves in Fact and Fiction", which tied in nicely with the Third Grade's project on adoption wolves.

The Second and Third Grade students did very nice concerts for the community, singing in the Hanson School Gym under signs boasting words such as "Respect", "Responsibility", "Empathy and Compassion", "Collaboration", "Perseverance" and "Craftsmanship". It was nice seeing these things being taught in our schools. And even nicer hearing young children's voices as they sang about Spring, Summertime, Lighthouses, Angels and a playful round of "Yoo-hoo's".

Outside, by the walkway that leads between the two schools, the PTO was having their Annual Ice Cream Social. Everyone stopped to enjoy a sweet treat, featuring either chocolate or vanilla ice cream, some flavored syrup sauce, whipped cream and cherries.

 

 

Thank you to the Administration, Teachers and Students of the Lebanon Elementary School and the Hanson School for providing such a wonderful event for our community. Our schools are, and should be, a source of community pride, and our children are the future of our town and our country. Thank you to the Lebanon PTO for providing such an enjoyable community time with their Ice Cream Social.

Lebanon PTO has Special Plans for Teacher Appreciation Week May 4-8, 2015

May 4 through 8 is Teacher Appreciation Week.
The Lebanon PTO has planned special events throughout the week to celebrate all our wonderful Lebanon teachers and is looking for volunteers willing to bake a dessert for Wednesday, and asking for donations of gift cards or gift items for a drawing on Friday.
In addition, it means a lot for the children to say "Thank you!", by making a card or picking a bouquet of Spring flowers for their special teacher.
As parents, you could send your child's teacher an e-mail telling them what you have appreciated about them so far this year.
Let's work together as a community to make this week special for our hard-working, dedicated educators!
