Dear RSU 21 Families,

Next week is National School Bus Driver Appreciation Week and we are kicking the week off by hosting our incredible transportation staff with some breakfast to make Monday feel a little less like a Monday...we are so incredibly thankful to our entire transportation team for making everything 'go!' the past month or so. Despite staffing struggles, they have made it work and are delivering our students safely for school and events. That said, we are still looking for more drivers to help...if you know someone who could drive for RSU 21, please have them apply here.

Just as we appreciate our RSU 21 community for your support and engagement, may your weekend also be full of gratitude and appreciation...

Much Love,

Dr. Cooper

Athletic Complex Celebration & Donor Ceremony

A matchup of regional rivals will be the event that marks the official celebration of the new $4.2 million Athletic Complex at Kennebunk High School. The complex, with its state-of-the art track, field, lighting and supporting infrastructure, would not have been possible without community involvement and financial support.

Throughout the Kennebunk Rams vs. Marshwood Hawks home game on Friday, October 20th, community donors will be announced and honored. During halftime, a ceremony will be held to recognize donors. 

"This new track and stadium complex means everything to the track and field program,” said Track and Field Coach Joshua Viola. “Our athletes persevered last spring, training on grass, pavement, and at other local schools. Going into this year knowing that we will be having a home meet for the first time since 2019 and the ability to practice at a high quality facility is the best gift we could have received. A huge ‘thank you’ to everyone who supported this new track and stadium being put in–we really appreciate it."

In total, donors raised $350,000, capping off a nearly 4-year project that provides RSU 21 with the ability to host professional-grade events and serve as a site for regional and state-level competition.

“It is remarkable what can be accomplished within a community when we work together to achieve a particular goal,” said Art LeBlanc, former RSU21 Board Chair. “ The need for a new Athletic Complex for all sports–including field hockey, football, soccer, and track & field events–was well established. I’m so thankful for the outpouring of support for this project and its successful completion.”

Newly finished and installed this week, the donor plaque and gardening was completed by Portsmouth Sign and Terrapin Landscaping.
