SeDoMoCha Autism Walk Update
SeDoMoCha Helping Hands team, comprised of
students, family members and SeDoMoCha staff, in the Walk for Autism in
Bangor on April 29, was the largest team in the state with 101
walkers! SeDoMoCha also raised the most money of any team in the state
with an estimate, as of April 30th, of $4000 - double the amount raised last
year! These funds directly benefit individuals with
Autism in our community and others throughout the State of Maine through
services provided by the Autism Society of Maine. This was an awesome
show of support for the students with Autism and their families by the
SeDoMoCha Community!
Update as of May 15: The Autism Society
of Maine informed the SeDoMoCha Helping Hands team that they were the number
one team in the State, having raised over $4509!

Did
you know that you can help out our schools by shopping at
Shaw's? If you register your Shaw's
card at the E-Labels for Education web site at
elabelsforeducation.com and
choose our
school, all
participating products you buy
will
electronically add points to our school.
AND you can still clip and redeem the
UPC's on the same products! It's
like earning double points.
There are also 7 magazines whose UPC's are
redeemable for points: People, Real
Simple, All You, Cooking Light, Health, Southern Living and Time. So
get reading and clip those UPC codes. Send your UPC's into the school
with your kids and the SSO will process them. It's that simple.

Allergy Notice
Please be aware that many people in our school
community have allergies to many things. For a person with fragrance
allergies, it can be difficult to spend time around those who are wearing
perfume, body sprays, scented lotions or scented hand sanitizers. We
are encouraging students to take this into consideration when getting ready
for school each morning. Please help us by encouraging your children
to use fragrances/body sprays sparingly.
