We are excited to announce the second year of Pine Tree Programming for grades 4-8, an after-school programming club sponsored by the Maine Department of Education!
Pine Tree Programming this year will include “Circuit Boards” in the programming units.
The program will begin right after the February vacation break on Mondays after school. It will run for 6 weeks, from Feb. 23rd until March 30th, from 2:30-3:45. Students interested in joining must sign up on the form outside the Learning Commons and see Mrs. Howard for permission slips. Reminder to students that if they need a ride home from this activity, they can sign up for Camp Whitefield.
Any questions, you can email Mrs. Howard at choward@svrsu.org.

Read-A-Thons actually get your reader excited about reading, and it allows friends and family to encourage your child to read even more.
Our Read-A-Thon starts Friday, February 13, 2026.
About one week before our Read-A-Thon starts, we will send home instructions on how to activate your reader's personal page. This is where you will be able to view and record their progress.
We encourage you to activate your reader’s account today by clicking on https://www.read-a-thon.com/readers/r/kiHpnG/1?utm=email and following the simple instructions.
We've chosen Read-A-Thon because it will not take up much of your time, gives your child a reason to read, and helps develop stronger reading skills.
We hope EVERYONE participates.
Thanks so much,
Whitefield PTA
