Happy Ramadan! Ramadan Kareem!
February 28 through March 29, 2024, marks this year’s observance of Ramadan for the Muslim community worldwide. The month of Ramadan is when Muslims, practicing the Islamic faith, abstain or fast from eating or drinking from sunrise to sunset. This is one of the holiest times of the Muslim faith and is a month of celebration, prayer, and reflection for Muslim families.


Plan Ahead!
Winter weather is here! With the season comes longer travel times. Leave a little earlier, expect delays, and allow for more braking distance. Let’s drive smart and safe!

Use Your Signals!
Turn signals communicate your intentions and keep everyone safe. A simple signal can prevent accidents and misunderstandings. Let’s signal, not swerve!
#SafetyFirst #SafeDriving #wearebangor


Keep Calm and Drive On!
Aggressive driving doesn’t solve anything. If someone is driving slower than you’d like, take a deep breath instead of yelling. Patience is key to a safe environment!

Distracted Driving is Dangerous!
Distractions while driving can lead to accidents. Keep your eyes on the road and hands on the wheel. Pay close attention in drop-off areas as students move quickly.

On Monday, February 24, Joan Roberts from “Simply Macarons by Jaelin" visited with kindergarten students at Vine Street School. Students learned about the French dessert and got to fill their own cookies. The kindergarten classes are studying France as part of our Academic Showcase/Culture Night to be held on March 6, 2025, at 4:30 PM.


Stop Signs Matter!
Rolling through stop signs isn’t just a habit; it’s dangerous! Please make a complete stop and ensure the road is clear before proceeding. Let’s keep our schools safe for everyone!

Black History Month is an opportunity for us to celebrate and acknowledge the contributions and accomplishments of Black Americans throughout history and in our present society. This month is also a time for us to reflect on the ongoing fight for equality and justice and to recommit ourselves to creating a more inclusive and equitable future for all.
February was chosen for Black History Month to honor Frederick Douglass and Abraham Lincoln's birth dates. President Lincoln is well known for issuing the Emancipation Proclamation, which declared freedom for enslaved Americans held in the Confederacy. Douglass escaped from slavery in 1838 and became a renowned abolitionist, speaker, and writer.
In the Bangor School Department, we recognize that our actions today will be history tomorrow, so the legacy of Black History Month lives on through our actions.
