From our littlest learners on up — We Believe in You! 💙 So proud to be part of this district-wide message.

Today, we’re wearing a simple message with a big meaning: We Believe in You.

Across Orono Schools, staff are coming together to remind our students that they are supported, encouraged, and surrounded by people who believe in all they can become.

Community Education is proud to be part of that message. 💙
