I was asked to share the following that may impact some of our students:
2019 and 2020 Orono-Veazie Little League registrants,
Adding to the quickly growing list of cancellations, we will not hold any Orono-Veazie Little League activities in March. This includes the March 28th clinic at Mahaney Dome and pitcher-catcher clinics on March 15, 22, and 29.
We will send an announcement at a later date updating you on the schedule and whether we will need to make additional cancellations in April.
We will keep the webpage updated and send out further announcements as the situation evolves.

No school today in Veazie (2/27/20)
Members of the Veazie Community School Ci3T development team recently visited schools in Topeka, Kansas who have fully implemented the 3-tiered Ci3T program which focuses on systematic approaches to academic, behavior and social emotional support for all students. They also attended a professional training module at Kansas University with co-founders of the program.
In between travels, the group visited the Brown v. Board of Education National Historic Site--a landmark 1954 Supreme Court case in which the justices ruled unanimously that racial segregation of children in public schools was unconstitutional.
Parent feedback on our first parent forum was overwhelmingly positive......
