It's "Mainer Day" here at Whitefield School. Not sure you can get any more "Mainer" then this! Kindergartener, Emma Main has the perfect Maine outfit!
Please encourage your child go through the lost and found for misplaced belongings. Items left in the lost and found at the end of the day on February 12th will be donated to Goodwill over the vacation week
Have a safe and happy snow day!
Looks like Punxsutawney Phil has predicted six more weeks of winter after seeing his shadow on this morning.
All RSU 12 schools will be closed tomorrow, Tuesday, February 2nd due to the snowstorm.

FYI:
The Maine Broadband Coalition has launched a statewide internet speed test mapping initiative. The goal of the “Get Up To Speed” initiative is to gather data from across the state to generate the most comprehensive map of both the presence and quality of internet in Maine to date.
Residents are being asked to help the initiative by taking this less-than-a-minute test to map their own speed through the Maine Broadband Coalition’s website. The test can be found at https://www.mainebroadbandcoalition.org/speed-test-info?
The Maine Broadband Coalition will aggregate, document, and visualize the speed testing information to provide users and state officials with up-to-date service maps. Participants can view their results (while personal information remains confidential) and watch the public map of Maine grow in real time by visiting this link: https://expressoptimizer.net/projects/Maine/speedtestmap.php
The new speed testing initiative is the crucial next step in ensuring the delivery of broadband throughout the state and will help local, regional, and state leaders develop projects and steer investments to the places that need it most. This map, along with other data collected, will help inform where the bond funding, approved by Maine voters in July, can have the most impact.
