Message from the Director
As I sit here writing, the sky is a cloudless blue and the ‘winter’ temperature has been hovering around 50
degrees. I don’t know about you, but I miss winter. I miss hunkering down, having a forced slow-down due
to snow storms. True, there are still quite a few weeks of winter remaining, and by the time you read this
we could be under a couple feet of snow! This is Maine. If you don’t like the weather ..well, you know
how it goes. For now, I’ll enjoy some oddly placed days of spring and seeing green grass outside my
window.
This late-spring and summer brochure brings quite a few new offerings. I won’t spoil the enjoyment of
discovery for you by listing them here. Go exploring and you’ll find summer camps, new adult recreation
offerings, and new offerings for youth in STEM and performing arts. People are getting involved. You
should too!
In Adult Education we had five more students graduate at the beginning of February in a wonderful
ceremony at the Freeport Community Center. Our ESOL program for adults continues strongly under the
tutelage of Marilyn Solvay, and Bob and Lois Deady-Shulz dutifully help students in our Learning Lab. See
the Adult Education pages for details. Looking to increase your marketability? Considering a career
change? Want to go back to college but it’s been so long that you aren’t sure where to begin? Check out
the mini-series of workshops in May. Free College Transitions services are available to students of any
age, including those who have just graduated from high school. Contact us for more details.
Have a desire to serve? WE NEED YOU! With our expanding programs and role in the community,
Community Programs is in great need of volunteers. Would you like to be a tutor? Want to coach? Are
you good at graphic design and want to help us design a new logo? Would you oversee an enrichment
opportunity for students after school? If you have a desire to make the towns of Durham-Freeport-Pownal
vibrant places to live, work and play, then we have a place for you at Community Programs.
Community Programs has an immediate need for candidates to sit on its Advisory Board. Like working on
the big picture? Want to assist in identifying funding opportunities that don’t rely on increasing fees or
taxes? Have experience writing grants? The CPAB meets 9 times a year to receive updates from the
Director, provide advice and apprise the Director regarding interests and needs of RSU5 residents. The
Board supports the work of Community Programs by advocating for programs and services, and through
identifying opportunities for funding. The first meeting of a new CPAB will be in April. If you are interested
in providing lifelong learning opportunities for all residents of RSU5, and would like to serve on the Board,
please contact me.
Be well!

Laugh & Learn Pre-School & Childcare
Did you know that the Laugh and Learn Program not only has two preschool classrooms at the Morse
Street school but also provides before and after care services housed within the Morse Street, Durham
Community and Mast Landing schools? These locations and programs help to make parents' busy lives
a bit simpler by allowing them to drop their children off at one location for the day, it also makes each
child's day simpler by allowing for smoother, easier, transitions between before and after care and their
regular school day. Who doesn't need a little simplifying in their lives?
Our programs are responsive to children’s needs. The before school program allows children to come in
at their own pace, providing such options as quiet activities, gross motor activities (in the gym or outside),
games & creative art and craft activities. After a full day of school work our after school program is
designed to provide plenty of time for the children to unwind and take part in much needed physical
activity outside (on the playground or on the school trails) or in the gymnasium if the weather doesn't
permit getting out into the fresh air. We also provide a healthy snack (in accordance with the national
5-2-1-0 program) and time for your child to do their homework, hopefully allowing for one less thing to do
once your family finally gets home after a long day. We're here for you and your family and hope that we
can meet your childcare needs in our three convenient locations!
If you have a child between the ages of three and five and are considering preschool then please join
our parent information night on Monday April 4th (snow date Wednesday April 6th). See information on
the next page. If you are interested in our programs, or know someone who may be, please visit our
website or call us for more information! We will begin taking registrations for the 2016-2017 school year
beginning April 4th! Confirm your spot by registering soon!
