Bangor High School Supports Dexter Regional High School! Hello, Bangor community! Dexter Regional High School has been selected by T-moblie as one of the top 25 finalists from over 2,000 schools across the country—and they’re the only school representing Maine! This is a fantastic opportunity for our county and our state, as Dexter has a chance to win a $1 million grand prize that would benefit not only the school but also their entire community and beyond.

As fellow Mainers, it's important to come together and support one another. A win for Dexter means new turf, lights, and updated facilities, creating a safer environment for their athletes and a central gathering place for their community to cheer on their students. Imagine what our city would be like without Cameron Stadium and all of the opportunities that it has given our students.

Dexter is currently in third place, and they need our votes to rise to the top! You can vote every day until October 24th. Let’s rally around Dexter Regional High School and show our support. Every vote makes a difference!

Vote here: [www.VoteDexter.com]

Good luck, Dexter! Let’s bring this home for Maine! #VoteDexter #MaineStrong #WeAreBangor

Abraham Lincoln School had a special visit from the Bangor High School Football Team this week! The players joined our students for morning recess, bringing lots of energy, smiles, and fun to the playground. Our students loved having the chance to play alongside these “big kids.” We’re cheering them on and wishing them the best of luck this season!

A big shout out to Mrs. Morris for organizing this! Next home game is Friday, Oct. 10 vs. Windham at 7pm. GoRams!

Fall is in the air at the Abraham Lincoln School Garden!

As autumn settles in, our garden is a beautiful sight to behold! Chinese lantern flowers are brightening up the remnants of the pumpkin patch, adding a splash of color to the landscape. Our pumpkins are safely stored in the greenhouse, protected from curious critters, ensuring they’re ready for upcoming autumn classroom festivities! Meanwhile, the leaves on the oak tree out front are starting to change colors, creating a stunning backdrop for our garden adventures.

And let’s not forget about our busy bees, who continue to buzz around, enjoying the last blooms of the season.
