Millinocket School Department
The Food Service Department Coordinator Mia Charette had a busy month meeting with different businesses to further implement the changes necessary to meet the HMI Grant goals. Pine Tree Equipment reps visited Granite Street to begin the process of replacing the double convection oven and steamer unit with a double combi-oven and tilt skillet. She also met with a rep from Heartland Solutions to plan the move to an updated nutrition software program. If all goes as planned, we will have these updates completed by the start of the new school year.
Reps from W.B Masons are assisting with a new cafeteria layout at Stearns. The new layout will consist of both new and old tables.
Our new Graduation has arrived and been installed by Louie DiFrederico and Ronnie McInnis. The sign is gorgeous, and it is a huge upgrade from the old one. It will feature all of our seniors; college bound, workforce, and military. It is right across from the main office. It was purchased through Bangor Neon Signs and designed by our own alum, Edward Tapley. He has done a great job.
Career Fair on 4/2/2024 was a tremendous success! We had 6 visiting schools. (Schenck, Katahdin, PVHS, MA, Lee and Region III.) A very sincere and special thank you needs to be said to Sue Buzzell, Kyle Leathers, Amanda Welch, and Katie DiFrederico, members of the MELMAC committee. They plan, organize and execute these events and purchases for students, as well as attend conferences that are a requirement for this grant. They put in countless hours of their time and have been amazing.
Our Virtual Snow day on March 21 was a success. We had 85% attendance at Stearns Junior Senior High School and We had 79% of our students at Granite Street School return completed packets for the virtual day on March 21, 2024. Granite Street School attendance for Parent Teacher Conferences was 87%.
