Congratulations to John Dennett, Cony Security, who was selected as one of the top ten state finalists for the Recognizing Inspirational School Employees (RISE) Award. This federal award, passed by Congress and overseen by the U.S. Department of Education, is intended to honor and promote school employees who provide exemplary service. Through the RISE Award, the state honors the often-unsung heroes whose work behind the scenes is essential to ensuring safe, supportive, and effective learning environments. Congratulations to John Dennett for this prestigious honor as one of the Top 10 finalists. The RISE state committee will narrow the top ten to two winners over the next months. Good luck to John Dennett! Cony proud!
Our Athletic Department held Fall sports awards night. Many students were recognized with certificates and recognition for their team, KVAC all academic and KVAV 1st team. Congratulations to all Fall athletes. Also, thank you to all of the Fall coaches for MS and HS. The coaches put so much time into their teams. We truly appreciate their hard work. We are headed to Winter Sports!
Our Guidance Department brought some of our interested students to the University of New England for a college tour.

Lisa Plourde is a familiar face around Cony. She has worked in the district for 17 years, the first 15 as Career Advisor in the guidance office. She is also Co-Advisor for the Coniad and has advised the classes of 2025 and 2029. Her position was among those affected by budget cuts last year. Fortunately, the district received a five-year, $1.2 million Aspire Grant through Melmac to fund similar positions at the primary and secondary levels. Colleen O’Donnell is Lisa’s counterpart for the elementary schools. In this new grant-funded position, Plourde continues much of her earlier work, including planning college fairs, organizing Aspirations Day, leading student trips to colleges, and chairing the Scholarship Committee. The grant’s major focus, however, is implementing extended learning opportunities (ELOs). Similar to work study, ELOs allow students to earn academic credit for part-time work and internships. Plourde coordinates with local businesses willing to work with Cony students. Cony is always looking for local business partners. If your business is interested in participating, please reach out to Lisa Plourde!
Mrs. Plourde took some of our students to Thomas College to the Future of Business conference. Students got to explore the world of business. They had to create a business and then pitch it to the group.. Shark Tank style

Lindsey Morin worked as an Ed Tech in the district for 20 years before becoming a special education teacher two years ago. Last year she taught at the middle school, and this year she is a high school special education resource room teacher, teaching English and Instructional Labs, where students are taught mini lessons on a rotating schedule, each focused on a different aspect of their IEP goals. Students also use this time to build skills that help them succeed in their other academic content areas, with Morin supporting them in completing assignments for those classes.
According to Morin, she decided to become a classroom teacher because she found real passion for working with students and supporting their success in school. Thinking back to her high school days and how important it can be to make connections and show up consistently, Morin wanted to emulate the teacher that she needed with hopes that she could be that for her students today.
In addition to teaching, Morin is the producer and director of Chizzle Wizzle, sharing her passion for the stage. You can occasionally catch her on the stage herself at the Waterville Opera House or other local theater groups. Most recently she played Miss Adelaide in Guys and Dolls at Monmouth Community Players. Morin was the girls varsity volleyball coach for 9 years, leading the team to be the KVAC Champs in 2023.
Students and staff are invited to participate in a Halloween costume contest on Friday, October 30th! See the flyer!
