Vaccine Update For 5-11 Year Olds:
On October 29, the FDA authorized the Pfizer COVID-19 Vaccine for children ages 5-11.
Nov 2, the Advisory Committee on Immunization Practices will meet to vote on recommendations for use of the vaccines.
Following the Nov 2 meeting, the Director of the CDC will sign off on those recommendations and children in this age group will be able to start receiving vaccinations. The Pfizer vaccine for this age group is a lower dose than the one approved for people aged 12 and older and is also given as a two dose series given three weeks apart.
A key part of the plan for vaccinating kids is getting vaccines into places that parents already take their children to for health care: pediatricians and family doctors, children's hospitals and neighborhood pharmacies. There will also be pop-up and mobile clinics and eventually school-based clinics.
We have COVID-19 Vaccination clinics scheduled with Northern Light Health on the following days. Because of the lower dosage the only people who will be able to receive vaccines at these clinics are the 5-11 year olds.
Nov 22
Eliot Elementary School 8:30 - 11:00
Marshwood Middle School 11:30 - 3:00
Nov 23
Central School 8:30 - 11:00
Great Works School 11:30 - 3:00
If your child receives the vaccine outside of school please provide documentation to their school nurse so that we can update their records. This is also a good time to check in with their PCP to see if there are any other immunizations that your child may need. We also encourage you to get a flu vaccine for all family members 6 months of age and older. COVID-19 Vaccination in Maine https://www.maine.gov/covid19/vaccines and COVID-19 Vaccination in NH https://www.vaccines.nh.gov/ are good resources for those seeking vaccines for currently eligible children and adults.
Consents and sign up information will be forwarded to you as soon as we receive them. In the meantime, please let us know if you have any questions regarding vaccinating your kids.
Thanks!

Click Clack the Rattle Bag
Today Ms. Gray and Ms. Corriveau teamed up to deliver the spooky Neil Gaiman story Click Clack the Rattle Bag. For this story students made their way to the library where Ms. Gray had students use evidence from the text to show the mood Gaiman created in the story. Next Ms. Corriveau pushed the students' visualization to the next level by creating a Rattle Bag for students to investigate.
If you are looking for a spooky story for the upcoming Halloween holiday, check out Click Clack the Rattle Bag by Neil Gaiman. The mood and imagery will be sure to give you a scary good time!

"Marshwood Middle School - Art Club - Spreads Positivity!"
Art Club Advisor: Mrs. Jen Balsiger
25 students at MMS joined the art club earlier this year and our first project was inspired by the American artist, Jen Stark who is known for her drip paintings.
Students put a positive spin on this art installation in the halls of our school as a simple reminder that a little bit of kindness goes a long way! Art club is a great way for students to stay inspired, unwind, use their imagination, and create meaningful relationships.
After a long awaited return to their science labs, students on the 8 White team put their scientific skills to the test with the Color Magic Measuring Lab. Students are asked to demonstrate their lab safety procedures and knowledge of the metric system to make the colors of the rainbow.
