“Kindergarten Jump Start is a win-win scenario for the youngest learners of RSU 18,” said Principal Jennifer McGee. These little learners were also assisted by school age “Bigs,” Syndey Hatch, Sage Grenier, Jackson Grenier, Hailey Lynch and Eliza Dudley. From August 1st through August 26th, five days a week, students attended the program that provided them with breakfast, lunch, and four lively hours of instructions. Students’ eligibility was determined through kindergarten screening and a parent night was held on June 2nd to sign children up. Kahlie Desrosiers and Denice Hatch took the leadership roles this year, while Amy Grenier, Shelly Moody, Maggie Booth and Debbie Gillcash assisted with planning and assessment. This year all Atwood kindergarten teachers were trained for the program and were involved in teaching and assessing these young readers. Kindergarten Jump Start is a free, research-based program aimed at ensuring that all students enter school with the literacy skills necessary for success.
