Softball @ Narraguagus

The quarter final softball game vs Narraguagus in Harrington tomorrow Thursday June 9 (or today depending on when your reading this) is scheduled for a 3:00 start.

Due to a lack of bus drivers we are having to be creative in our transportation. We will be taking the 2 school vans and Jeff Lamb will be driving his truck (to transport his daughter and the gear). 

Coach Tom Riitano will be driving one van and Mr. Keane will drive the other to Bangor were he will hook up with me, who will already be at a meeting in Bangor, and trade places. I will continue on to the game and Mr. Keane will take my truck 4 wheeling back to Guilford...remember to push the traction control button if you want to do really good donuts.

We will need to depart at 11:00am sharp in order to pull this all together and arrive on time. Please dismiss the softball team at 10:45.

Thank you.

Life is not a highway strewn with flowers Still it holds a goodly share of bliss When the sun gives way to April showers Here is the point you should never miss Though April showers may come your way They bring the flowers that bloom in May So if it's raining, have no regrets Because it isn't raining rain, you know (It's raining violets) And where you see clouds upon the hills You soon will see crowds of daffodils So keep on looking for a blue bird And list'ning for his song Whenever April showers come along And where you see clouds upon the hills You soon will see crowds of daffodils So keep on looking for a blue bird And list'ning for his song Whenever April showers come along

Blue 2 Day - Advisory

Many basketball coaches from around the State are coming to PCHS this Saturday at 6:00 pm to play in a benefit basketball game. This year the recipient of the money raised will be the Aliza Jean Family Cancer Foundation. Last year in Milo this game raised approximately $6,000.00 at the game and about $11,000.00 over all. A large amount of that money raised actually came from the Aliza Jean Foundation itself. 100% of the money the Aliza Jean Family Cancer Foundation earns stays in Maine for Maine families. We are hoping to come close to that amount of money raised again this year. The event starts at 6:00pm

Pirate Special Sign up

Good luck to the middle school students in showing their Science Fair projects today. That event will be at 1:45 pm in the library. Invention Fair projects will be tomorrow.

Any Senior who was at TCTC yesterday needs to report to the office right after announcements.
