60 in 16, Welcome back, Convocation, and Updates!

001Good afternoon. This is Superintendent of Schools Christopher Andriski and I'm here with you for our first installment of 60 and 16 where I will share with you all of the great things that are happening in SAU16 in 60 seconds or less. This week we welcome back our faculty and staff members in this auditorium where I'm standing right now at Exod High School for Convocation 2025. Staff entered the auditorium by literally walking a red carpet. The theme of convocation this year was celebrating our staff and students and all the amazing things that they do each and every day. The program was MCEd by Extra High School senior Bobby Pace. We heard amazing speeches from sea fifth grader Will Morgan, cooperative middle school eighth grader Keegan Melik, and Extra High School and secondyear SECO School of Technology student Aadia Lassard. The Exra High School vocal ensemble led us with the pledge of allegiance, national anthem, and also performed the hall of fame by the script as our closing performance. We also recognized Juliana Jones and Emily Schultz as our leaders to learn from, Miss Stephanie Fion as our Eustace Award winner, and for the first time, we recognized racial unity team and McFarland Ford for their superintendence award for community partnership. So, the bus routes are set, our schedules are posted, and our schools are ready for your return. Have a great weekend everyone and we look forward to the students returning uh to school on Monday, August 25th.
