Bangor High School Supports Dexter Regional High School! Hello, Bangor community! Dexter Regional High School has been selected by T-moblie as one of the top 25 finalists from over 2,000 schools across the country—and they’re the only school representing Maine! This is a fantastic opportunity for our county and our state, as Dexter has a chance to win a $1 million grand prize that would benefit not only the school but also their entire community and beyond.

As fellow Mainers, it's important to come together and support one another. A win for Dexter means new turf, lights, and updated facilities, creating a safer environment for their athletes and a central gathering place for their community to cheer on their students. Imagine what our city would be like without Cameron Stadium and all of the opportunities that it has given our students.

Dexter is currently in third place, and they need our votes to rise to the top! You can vote every day until October 24th. Let’s rally around Dexter Regional High School and show our support. Every vote makes a difference!

Vote here: [www.VoteDexter.com]

Good luck, Dexter! Let’s bring this home for Maine! #VoteDexter #MaineStrong #WeAreBangor

Introducing the New Garden at Mary Snow School! We are excited to unveil a beautiful new garden, created as a collaborative project by a local Girl Scout troop made up of dedicated students from Mary Snow School, Fruit Street School, and the William S. Cohen School!

This vibrant garden features a variety of sections designed to educate and inspire. The pollinator section attracts essential bees and butterflies, helping to support our ecosystem. In another area, students are growing tomatoes, peppers, onions, and herbs for making delicious homemade tomato sauce. We also have a flourishing asparagus patch and an array of melons and squash, perfect for hands-on learning about gardening and healthy eating.

The troop was recently interviewed by WVII ABC7 and will be featured on tonight's news at 6 and 6:30! (9/17/25)

This project not only beautifies our school community but also fosters teamwork, responsibility, and a love for nature among our students. Join us in celebrating this wonderful addition to Mary Snow School!

Thursday evening, PTO will have a Scholastic Book Fair from 6:00-7:00 in the music room. All families are invited!

Friday, students will have the chance to visit the Book Fair with their class, and can purchase books at that time, if they have a way to do so.
