🏆 Congratulations to all of our Gorham High School Awards Night honorees! Tonight was a celebration of the hard work, leadership, talent, and perseverance of our incredible students. We are so proud of all you’ve accomplished!
In today's Gorham Times, they accidentally printed an OLD version of the full-page ad that we do each year to inform folks about the budget. They have apologized, are not charging us, and said they will try to get the correct information out...But I wanted to make sure folks were aware, too! What you see below is the correct one-page ad. PLEASE HELP SHARE!

My Apologies to Yarmouth Schools for Fact Sheet #2 that was distributed earlier this week. We accidentally grabbed their HS numbers only instead of district-wide. A CORRECTED Fact Sheet #2 is below. The message remains the same: for having the 2nd-lowest per-pupil expenditures in Cumberland County, we get great value in our PRODUCT. Gorham's Return On Investment (ROI) is strong!

While I was at Great Falls today I was able to witness just a few of the many classrooms that came down with cards and thank you's for Mrs. Tringali's service as part of National School Nurse appreciation day. Well earned appreciation indeed!
A good turnout tonight at GMS STEAM night!
Community memebers who attended the Eat and Learn event last night took part in a community quilt project. Each person had the opportunity to decorate a piece of paper to match their identity. They could use imagery from their culture, food, family, interests, anything they thought could help define them as individuals.
Over the next few months, I will be sending out one-page "Fact Sheets" with information on the Gorham School Department's Proposed Budget. Check them out and please reach out with questions to heather.perry@gorhamschools.org. Here is Fact Sheet #1 - Per Pupil Expenditures.
