Waterville Public Schools and our community partners are here to help ensure every family has what they need.

Even during the government shutdown, students will continue to receive free breakfast and lunch each school day. And each school offers a food pantry that can accessed discretely, with items that can be taken home. If you’re interested in contributing to a WPS food pantry, please contact the school directly.

If your family needs additional support:

🍎 Find local food assistance: Call 211 or visit the Good Shepherd Food Bank’s Food Map at www.gsfb.org/get-help/food-map
🏠 Apply for General Assistance: Help with food, housing, and other basic needs is available at www.maine.gov/dhhs/ofi/programs-services/general-assistance
🛒 SNAP benefits: You can still apply for or renew SNAP at www.mymaineconnection.gov

Teamwork!

Yesterday’s Back to School Clinic was a shining example of collaboration between Waterville, Winslow, and Messalonskee schools - all coming together to make sure students are healthy and ready for the year ahead.

Our amazing regional school nurses gave up part of their summer to connect families across all three districts with the care their children need. Their dedication, combined with the support of the MaineGeneral school vaccination program, ensured strong turnout and meaningful impact. Special thanks to the Waterville team for hosting and managing the behind-the-scenes logistics that made the day run smoothly.

👏 This was true teamwork—rooted in care, connection, and community. Planning is already underway for next year!

Congratulations, Greta!!!

Congratulations to Greta Limberger as she was honored with an MPA Principal’s Award today at an Honors Luncheon in Brewer. The Principal’s Award was established in 1984 to recognize students for their academic excellence and good citizenship. Greta certainly embodies academic excellence and outstanding citizenship. Well deserved!
