May 23, 2022 A message from MSAD 35 MAINE Dear District Families, On Friday, May 20, 2022, The J. M. Smucker Co. issued a recall of select JIF ® peanut butter products sold in the U.S. due to potential Salmonella contamination. The recalled peanut butter was distributed nationwide in retail stores and other outlets. Recalled products include the products below with lot codes 1274425 – 2140425 (to find the lot code, look alongside the best-if-used-by date). Prior to the notification of this recall, this product was served in the cafeterias at Eliot Elementary and Great Works Elementary. As soon as the cafeteria team was notified of the recall, they diligently reviewed the products in our kitchen pantries and disposed of the affected peanut butter product, following rigorous protocols for recall situations. Marshwood School District continues to serve alternative brand peanut butter and pre-packaged peanut butter and jelly sandwiches that are not part of the recall. Families with questions about the peanut butter they may have purchased from retail locations can visit the J.M. Smucker Company announcement on the FDA website. If you have further questions, please contact Karan Pfingst, Food Services Director at (207) 384-4500. Sincerely, Karan Pfingst, Food Services Director

May 20, 2020 Hello, A couple of quick updates on COVID testing and Vaccines in Maine. Yesterday the CDC's Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices endorsed the booster for children at least five months after they received their two-dose series. This would be a third dose for healthy children and the fourth dose for children who are immunocompromised. You can check with your PCP or COVID-19 Vaccination in Maine to schedule a vaccination. Free COVID tests are available to order again through https://www.covid.gov/tests and https://www.accesscovidtests.org/ . They are also available in the front offices at your children’s schools, one box of 5 tests per student. Thanks very much! The Marshwood District Nurses

Special Olympics Update Good afternoon all, Today our York County Area Management Team and the planning committee at Noble High School met to discuss the current uptick of Covid-19 cases within York County. It is with a heavy heart that we bring you this news today (a week before the games). We have made the difficult decision to cancel this year's 2022 York County Spring Games at Noble. With the increase of cases in our area, we think it is best not to gather in large groups at this time.

A few important updates from your PTO- The PTO had a movie night planned for this Friday, May 13 but it has to be cancelled at this time. We will keep you posted if we are able to reschedule. Do mark your calendars for Sunday, June 5th, 1:00 at Central School. The PTO will be putting on an end of the school year celebration. More information to follow. Join us next Tuesday night, 5/17, at our next PTO meeting. Weather permitting we will meet outside of Central School at 6:30. (inside if bad weather) We will be gearing up to support the end of year needs and traditions for students and staff. Hike through History, tie dyeing shirts, field day, visiting artist,....so many great things coming up!! Meetings are only an hour and you can get the scoop ahead and help support the school community. We are also looking for a new treasurer starting next year. Our current treasurer would be happy to discuss it with anyone that would like to learn more. Thank you, Central School PTO SoBCentralSchoolPTO@gmail.com

Central School Second Grade Concert May 4 Hello everyone! I am excited to share that we will have a second-grade concert on Wednesday, May 4th at 6 PM in the Central School gym. I am asking that second-grade students arrive by 5:45 PM so we can warm up and be ready to go. I know that many students have after-school commitments. It is our hope that all students will be able to come. Concert attire: I am encouraging students to wear something that makes them feel special. That might be an outfit from a holiday or event but it does not have to be fancy. I do want to emphasize they should wear comfortable shoes because we will be dancing! Please let me know if you have any questions, I can be reached at kate.smith@rsu35.org. Cheers! Kate Smith Central School Music Teacher
