will be held at the Brooklin School 
on Monday, February 4 at 6:00 p.m. 
Congratulations to Eliza Herrick who 
spelled the word ‘typhoon’ correctly 
to win first place. She will be joined 
by runner up winner, Tyler O’Grady 
and Henry Bowden, who is the 
alternate. They will compete against 
six other spellers from Brooklin and 
Deer Isle-Stonington ElementarySchool. We would also like to 
recognize Crystal Bessey, Maggie 
Bunt, Bradin Cote, Hayden Torrey, 
and Sydnie Norris for taking part in 
the Sedgwick School spelling bee. 

Parent /Teacher Conferences 

There are a number of parents who 
have still not contacted teachers or 
returned phone calls from teachers to 
set up conferences. It is important for 
parents to be in touch with teachers 
to find out where their children 
stand academically and socially now 
that we are halfway through the 
school year. If you have not already 
arranged for a conference with your 
child’s teacher, please do so today. 

B Boy’s Team Basketball Season 
Completed 

The B Boy’s team completed its 
season on Tuesday. These youngsters 
had an excellent season and a great 
deal of thanks should go to Coach 
Brian Duddy and his wife Maria. 
Coach Duddy has done a superior job 
with our youngest players.

Parents of students in grades six 
through eight were notified by mail 
that Sedgwick Elementary School 
will be part of the MYDAUS this 
year. Data collected on Maine 
students is used to judge the level of 
drug and alcohol use statewide and 
the efficacy of programs to helpstudents avoid their use. We are 
required to administer the MYDAUS 
because we receive grants for 
improving student health. 

This is a totally anonymous 
and voluntary survey and students 
may choose to NOT take part in any 
or all of the survey. If you do not wish 
your child to participate, pleasecontact Mrs. Grindle at 359-5002 no 
later than Monday, February 4. It 
will be administered to students next 
week. A copy of the survey isavailable in Mrs. Grindle’s office for 
review 

Sign In Procedure 

Parents who drop off children to 
school late need to remember to sign 
them in at the office. Don’t just drop 
them off in front of the building.
