Have a fang-tastic Halloween! Remember to stay safe and spooktacular.
Dear Families,

Mary Snow had an unexpected fire alarm towards the end of the day today due to an inadvertent pull. As a result, students and staff left their classrooms as protocol dictates and Bangor Fire responded. The building was deemed to be safe and learning resumed.

The safety and well-being of your child is our top priority. We will continue to keep you informed about important concerns at our school.

Thank you!
Principal Lord

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!
