We’re determined to RESTORE those things that are special about John Bapst. Will you help? Please make your gift today.

Dear Friend of John Bapst,

Among all the things that the 2020-2021 pandemic has done, it has taught us to really appreciate our school and all those things, small and large, that make this a wonderful place for students and teachers. We went a full year without making typical high school memories: no assemblies, no music, no field trips, limited sports, and hybrid classes.

We entered this year determined to find a way to restore things that are so special to us. The Delta variant has prolonged the pandemic in schools. We are still following the safety rules, we are still staying safe – wearing masks, using seating charts, and social distancing. Now we are doubling our efforts to bring back those things we lost. We do not want to have another year of an incomplete high school experience.

This is where we need you. We have students and teachers in full in-person classes and everyone is making academic progress this year. Your donation helps restore this school to the vibrant, dynamic place that it has always been.

Your donation to our Annual Fund will help us:

• Bring back music and singing for audiences large and small;
• Help teachers bring students to hands on experiences in the labs and in the wider world through field trips;
• Put full teams on athletic fields again and in competitions statewide;
• Connect our students to others from around the world in class and in travel abroad;
• Remain at the very top of New England in Robotics competitions;
• Bring students in to John Bapst from all over eastern and central Maine and abroad.

You know that the teachers and students here are talented and they are ready to work. Last year was a year like no other. With your help, we can make this a year that is better than any other. John Bapst will restore all its best traditions and have a year to remember for all of us.

Please make a donation today to our Annual Fund. John Bapst needs you!

Thank you so much,

Dave Armistead
Head of School
