Great Salt Bay School

Mrs. Michaud's class is playing a math game called Count and Compare Fives. They are practicing skip counting by 5s! Then stopping to take a class photo before they walk up to play in the woods for a morning break.

Pre-k is off to a great start! These newest GSB cougars are quickly learning the ins and outs of school including our school expectations to be respectful, responsible, safe and kind.

First graders enjoying beginning of the year activities!

Tough day on the pitch against a strong Camden team, but we're so proud of the grit and effort from our GSB Soccer teams!

Our girls battled hard for all 80 minutes, showing incredible determination against a tough opponent. The final score was 8-0, but their heart was on full display.

Our boys fought in a nail-biter that truly could've gone either way. They came up just short with a final score of 4-3, but it was a great, hard-fought match.

Let's show up and support them at their next home games!

Girls: Wednesday, 9/24 vs Searsport at 3 PM

Boys: Wednesday, 9/24 vs Searsport at 4:30 PM

Third graders vs. catapults! 🤯 Round 1 was a no-go with some epic fails, but they didn't give up! After unlocking the secret power of reading the instructions, it was game on. 📖💡 Every single team succeeded, sending marshmallows flying! 🎯🎉 A delicious victory for literacy! 💪

Mr. Coleman's 4th grade class working on some Team Building challenges to start the year.

The GSB boys soccer team played a great game in Woolwich yesterday. The game went into extra-time. The final score was 2-2. GSB went behind a goal then scored the equalizer to bring the game 1-1 at the end of regulation. In overtime, GSB scored in the second half early on. Woolwich scored on the very last play of the game to make it 2-2. It was a very evenly contested game with a number of standout performances.

The GSB boys next soccer game is at GSB on Wednesday, 9/17, at 5 pm vs Camden.

Congrats to the girls soccer team who won yesterday over Woolwich 5-1. It was a great team effort with solid defense, great passes and good shots on goal. Congrats to Lina Minzner who had 4 goals in the game!

The girls next game is at GSB on Wednesday, 9/17, at 3:45 pm vs Camden.

It has been beautiful weather for courtyard reading time in third grade!

Grade 3 worked hard on opening the schools balance station during their PE time! They, of course, had to try it all out to make sure it worked just right!

Third graders in Ms Tracy's class worked as a team to build the longest paper chain in 15 minutes with limited supplies. Lots of good communication skills, laughter, and fun!

GSB's cross country team had their first meet at Medomak on Thursday. Congratulations to Tiny Hall, who placed 4th out of 63 girls in her race, as well as Jakob Iverson, who placed 10th out of 85 boys. According to coach Olivia "everyone’s time was better than expected looking at our time trials from the previous two weeks." Overall, the girls team placed 3rd out of five teams, and the boys placed 2nd out of four teams. Great job everyone!

Third graders worked together to build the tallest possible tower out of paper. Each team was supportive of each other even when the towers collapsed!

5th grade science kicked off the Energy Transfer unit by playing “Got Energy?” Students explored how energy moves from the sun to plants and animals in a food chain!

Hello GSB Parents/Guardians!

I’d like to introduce myself! My name is Beth Sewall. I had the honor of becoming the GSB Softball coach last year for the 2025 softball season. As someone who played softball for 8 years, it’s such an honor to coach these amazing group of girls!

This summer and fall I have been holding free clinics when my schedule allows for my upcoming spring 2026 team.

I would like to extend this invite to any 7th and 8th grade girls who have maybe played softball in the past, or who never have played, but want the opportunity to see if they enjoy it!

If your child has interest in this, please email me at: bethksewall@gmail.com.
