It was another week of outdoor learning and service projects at Greenville Consolidated School. Here are a few of the many noteworthy photos of community accomplishments, curricular enrichment, and seasonal changes.
In service projects and community fundraising...
1. GCS received $4,561 from the Hannaford Helps Schools program. Thank you to all committed community members who helped to make this possible while shopping at Hannaford stores. These monies will support other student support services as well as classroom recognitions and enrichment activities.
2. The Kick-Off to School Darling's Ice Cream for a Cause fundraiser netted $279.50 toward a new mascot costume. And the Homecoming 50/50 raffle raised another $160 for the costume. Momentum for this project continues to build.
3. The GCS Key Club reached its Thirst Project fundraising goal of $12,000 to build a new freshwater well for a high-needs community in Eswatini. This is the third well funded by GCS overall, and the first possible since the COVID 19 pandemic.
Union 60 is indeed a globally-focused and community-minded place to live, work, and learn.
In academics...
Early elementary students continued exploring the natural world with lessons on vascular plants.
First graders continued an interdisciplinary unit on "animals surviving and thriving" in natural habitats.
And high school environmental science students explored trophic levels and soil horizons at the Piscataquis County Soil and Water Conservation District's experimental Law Farm.
We are fortunate to have outdoor learning opportunities at all times of year.

1. School delays and/or cancellations will be announced at 5:00am or shortly thereafter.
-- An all-call and text will be sent via the Thrillshare App.

Dear Union 60 students and families:
Due to slow turn around with the United States Postal Service, Q1 report cards have been sent home with students rather than mailed. Grade PreK-5 were given their report cards in their take home folders. Grades 6-12 were given report cards by their intervention teachers. All report cards should be distributed by Wednesday afternoon.
Please be sure to check for the report card prior to parent-teacher conferences on 11/13/2025.

Attention varsity girls basketball players, Practice will start for you on Thursday 11/13 at 12:00 and not Wednesday as previously posted. Thank you

Early elementary students continued exploring geometric shapes and patterns with pencil drawings and shadings of circles.
Upper elementary students continued exploring organic shapes in nature with pencil drawings of trees.
-- We are lucky to have eager artists throughout our school.
High School Key Club members went trick-or-treating for the Thirst Project and are very close to meeting their fundraising goal. The proceeds of their fundraising will be used to construct a water well for a community in Eswatini in southern Africa.
-- This global-mindedness will serve our students well regardless of their academic or professional goals.
Monday, 11/10/2025, is a White Day.
Please join us at 1:00pm for the Veterans Day ceremony if you are able.







We want to give a big thank-you to everyone who took the time to vote and support our adopted cow. Your kindness and enthusiasm made this experience so special for our class!
