HANNAFORD BLOOMIN’ 4 GOOD TO BENEFIT GSA IN FEBRUARY

Who needs a hint of spring during the heart of winter? Grab yourself a burst of color with a specially marked Bloomin’ 4 Good bouquet from the Blue Hill Hannaford (15 South St., Blue Hill) grocery store. You’ll brighten your day and ours!  

For every bouquet purchased in February, Hannaford is generously donating $1 to George Stevens Academy.

 

All month long, a small act can make a big impact.

 

HEAD OF SCHOOL CHALLENGE COIN

Tane Tooley is the latest recipient of the Head of School Challenge Coin. Tane was nominated by Mr. Steve Adam as someone who goes above and beyond to help their fellow classmates in Chemistry class.

Tane, thank you for your continued citizenship and for supporting the GSA school community!

 

ISIP IS ALMOST HERE!

MARK THE DATE OF EXHIBITION NIGHT: MARCH 18TH @ 5:30 PM

ISIP has long been a capstone feature of a GSA education. For the two weeks after February education, all juniors and seniors will be engaged in an Independent Study or Internship Project that they have built themselves. Some students will be shadowing potential careers, others will be doing intensive art, music and writing, one will be shadowing in state government, one will be exploring our judicial system in a public defender's office, and another will be building a scallop drag.

Any and all are invited to the ISIP Exhibition where students will be eagerly sharing (yes, every one of them!) about what they did.

Wednesday, March 18, GSA gym, 5:30 -7:30 pm).

HEALTH & WELLNESS CORNER

There has been an update in COVID, Influenza and RSV within our community in addition to Strep Throat. Please stay home if you are sick and do not return to school until your symptoms begin improving AND you have been fever-free for at least 24 hours without the use of fever-reducing medication. Please consider wearing a mask for 5 calendar days after return to school to protect your classmates, faculty, administration and most importantly YOURSELF!

The Maine CDC and US CDC estimates peak respiratory illness trends for 2025-2026 to mimic the 2024-2025 season with current peak activity to most likely occur in school populations over the next few weeks with the upcoming February Break. COVID cases are overall lower than this time last year with moderate levels of Influenza A in the community. Of course, this information can always change rapidly. 

The Mobile Dental Clinic will be returning Early to Mid-May and will be extending services to staff and administration as well. The last clinic was a success and ran very smoothly. Information will be available to start sign-ups soon. 

We are also welcoming Finding Our Voices for student programming in February regarding teen dating abuse and flyers are available through student advisors and hanging up throughout the campus. CPR classes will be coming in Late February/Early March, so we have much to look forward to and get us through the next cold months. 

Students and parents can always reach out to me for more information, questions or concerns.

Thank you,

Andrea
