If Memorial Day didn’t make you feel patriotic, you should have been at the recent “tea” for volunteers held at SeDoMoCha in Dover Foxcroft. You’d have gotten to hear over 300 students recite the pledge of allegiance with fervor and gusto!
Principal Wilma Lombardi led students and staff through a brief but enthusiastic program to recognize volunteers “who are so important and help us with so many things.” The list was long, but the students didn’t lose their enthusiasm and right to the last name their applause was loud and clear.
Volunteers were recognized for classroom work, organizing activities, supporting special programs, and “just being there for us.” Valley Grange received accolades for participating in the RIF (Reading is Fun) Program and the ever popular “Words for Thirds” Dictionary Program.
Events such as this bring us together as a community… and the school staff and kids are thanked for taking time out from their busy end of the year activities to give us the opportunity! It was awesome!
