I would like to invite you to join us this evening for the first portion of our two part process in approving the FY27 Budget for MSAD#44. Tonight is the public hearing in the Telstar Auditorium starting at 6:30pm. If you cannot come in person but would like to still be a part of the evening, you can watch on Western Hills Access Television's YouTube channel for the live broadcast. Tonight, the Finance Committee will present budget highlights, review the cost centers, answer questions and for those in attendance. Registered voters in Bethel, Greenwood, Newry or Woodstock will be asked to vote to approve the proposed budget for next year. If that passes, then all voters will get their chance to vote at the polls on Tuesday, June 9th. Thank you, Mark Kenney, Superintendent of Schools.

A long-standing Crescent Park tradition came to life once again this week at our 5th Grade Wax Museum! Our students truly brought history to life, transforming into influential figures and sharing their stories with confidence, creativity, and pride. From detailed research to engaging presentations, their hard work was on full display—and it was incredible to see. We are so proud of our 5th graders for the dedication they showed throughout this entire process.
A huge shoutout to their amazing teachers, Mrs. Conrad, Mrs. Deprey and Ms. Gould, who supported, guided, and encouraged them every step of the way. This event is always a highlight, and this year was no exception!
Great job, 5th grade! 👏
Ms. Haines' class has been learning about light. Yesterday they learned about shadows and how if the light moves the shadows move too. Everyone got to experiment and make their own shadows with paper gnomes and flashlights.

Today the 2nd Annual Great Inflatable Race was back, and better than ever!
THANK YOU to our AMAZING participants & CONGRATULATIONS to newcomer and MKA employee Chris Nicholas on his big win 🌟
Well… we almost caught him. 🍀
The leprechaun managed to slip away again this year, but not before spending quite a bit of time roaming around our school and let’s just say… he may have “redecorated” a few classrooms along the way 😅
You should have seen the kids’ faces when they walked in this morning and then when they found out we caught a few glimpses of him on our cameras....
Maybe next year we’ll finally outsmart him… but somehow I think he’s already planning his return! 🌈✨

As we enter the spring season, MSAD44 and Ridesource continue to work to keep our kids safe when riding the school bus which takes a group effort. Here are some helpful tips you can review with your student at home. The bus drivers will also be going over these reminders with their riders. Thank you!
4th graders in Ms Carter and Mrs Lovejoy's class had a great time visiting the State House and Blaine House today.
Mrs. Zybas' 4th graders are looking forward to their visit Monday!
