Edgecomb Staff would like students to join us in celebrating National Scribble Day on Monday, March 28th. This will be a whole school celebration! National Scribble Day is based on the book “I’m Not Just a Scribble” by Diane Alber. This book has a great moral about kindness and acceptance, while encouraging children to create art regardless of their artistic ability! After all, “Great art starts with a Scribble!” We would like the whole school to be a sea of color! Please have your child dress in rainbow colors to help us celebrate this day! There will be fun art projects and celebrating kindness all day! We can’t wait to help students realize they are NOT just a scribble!!!

Our PTC Coastal Maine Popcorn Fundraiser is almost over! "Popping for our Playground" order forms and money are due Friday March 25th. 50% of Sales benefits our PTC Playground Fund. Families & Staff, check your email for details and your student's backpacks for the forms!
