Students in Mr. Suttmeier’s class have been learning how to build wigwams and started on their own this week on the nature trail behind NCS. They also worked with their first grade buddies and visited the library to do research for Native American tribes. This is part of a social studies unit. Go, Lions!


First-graders released butterflies during recess this week. They have been learning all about the life cycle of the marvelous monarch.



It's School Picture Day! Excitement was running high all morning as students and staff smiled for the camera Monday. Go, Lions!


Nearly 50 NCS students who read over the summer were included in a celebration Sept. 12 in the library. Mr. Drew & His Animals Too visited from Lewiston with some of his scaly (and fuzzy) friends. Children learned about conservation and rehabilitation of exotic animals like tarantulas and scorpions, as well as common critters like snapping turtles. Thanks, Mr. Drew!




AOS 93 has one or more schools that participate in Special Provision II or Community Eligible Provision for school meals. This alternative is referred to as Provision II or CEP. All students enrolled in schools listed below may participate in the School Breakfast Program and the National School Lunch Program at no charge. Household applications are not required to receive free meals this year but Economic Status Forms will be distributed by the school to collect household income data for other programs that require this information, such as Federal Title programs. The Economic Status Forms are also available in the online registration on the "Agreements" page.
All students will be served breakfast and lunch at no charge at Bristol Consolidated, Great Salt Bay, Jefferson Village, Nobleboro Central and South Bristol Schools. For additional information please contact your student's school.
Studies show that children who are not hungry perform better in school. By providing both breakfast and lunch at no cost to students, we are helping to create a better learning environment.
The school meals that we serve follow U.S. Department of Agriculture guidelines for healthy school meals. The School Breakfast and Lunch Programs cannot succeed without your support; please encourage your children to participate in the school meals programs.
The application requesting economic information supports many programs at our schools which helps reduce the local tax. Please complete and return the forms. Only one per family is needed.

I SCREAM, YOU SCREAM, WE ALL SCREAM FOR ICE CREAM!!! NCS will hold its annual Ice Cream Social for families with students in grades K-4 on Monday, August 26th from 6-7pm. We hope to see you there!


GOAL!!! Do you love the game of soccer as much as we do? We can't wait for the fall sports season to start and for the kids to get back on the pitch. There's just one thing missing: they need a coach. If coaching a great group of kids, having fun, and learning a little something in the process sounds as good to you as it does to us, please reach out to Michelle York at myork@aos93.org.


Feeling like you have free time on your hands, NCS families? Summer reading is for you! Students who log their summer reading and turn it in to Mrs. Harriman when school resumes will get a reward. Not only will children receive the benefit of maintaining or improving their reading skills, but they also will take part in a fun Summer Reading Celebration in September. Go, Lions!
