IAN STEBBINS RECEIVES MPA PRINCIPAL'S AWARD
Farmingdale, Maine: Ian Stebbins of Farmingdale, a senior at Hall-Dale High School, has been selected to receive the 2021 Principal's Award, Principal Mark Tinkham announced today. The award, sponsored by the Maine Principals' Association, is given in recognition of a high school senior's academic achievement and citizenship.
Ian, the son of Mark and Karen Stebbins, is the last of the 3 Stebbins boys to graduate from Hall-Dale. Tinkham commented “Ian has left an indelible mark on the Hall-Dale community. His presence in the classroom, the pitch, and the court have been a constant positive. At the start of the pandemic Ian noticed that his peers needed greater academic support. In his role as president of the National Honor Society he helped launch virtual tutorial sessions for students in grades 6-12 hosted by NHS members. His involvement and care for others has not gone unnoticed.”
As a three sport varsity athlete he has also captained the soccer and basketball teams. Ian is the “dad” on the team. Although winning is nice, he concentrates his efforts on supporting younger or lesser skilled players to become better players and team accomplishments. Although earning individual honors Ian’s focus and love of the game shines in team accomplishments including a couple of trips to the MVC Championship Game in two sports (winning a title) and earning runner up status this past year in a COVID related tournament.
Ian was the recipient of the University of Rochester Bausch and Lomb Book Award (awarded to a student who is excels in math and science); a boatload of Mountain Valley Conference athletic awards; All-State recognition, National Honor Society; a 4 year member of Key Club, the Outing Club and has attended various leadership conferences. He is a true school ambassador. Stebbins will attend Bowdoin College in the fall as part of the Class of 2025.
Ian Stebbins, Principal Tinkham and other award winners and their principals will participate in a Live Virtual Scholarship Drawing Event on Friday, May 14 at 1:00 p.m. Ten $1,000 scholarships will be drawn in the names of former Maine principals and MPA Executive Directors: Horace O. McGowan, Richard W. Tyler, and Richard A. Durost.
The Principal's Award is presented in more than 100 Maine public and private high schools by member principals of the MPA, the professional association which represents Maine's school administrators.

Good afternoon parents,
Thank you for your patience as we spent time contact tracing, due to a COVID exposure, and figured out what next week will look like for our students.
Nurse Hammonds has contacted the majority of parents whose students are deemed a close contact and will need to quarantine until Friday, March 12th. She has also left messages for several parents.
6th grade students will ACCESS REMOTE LEARNING next week. (March 8th through the 12th) 6th grade will resume the hybrid schedule beginning March 15th.
7th and 8th grade students, with the huge support of our middle school staff helping to cover one another, will resume the hybrid learning model on Monday, the 8th.
Thanks for understanding during these trying times!
Mark
