As you may know, Union 29 may be joining with the Gray New Gloucester area, which means that Union 29 would become an SAD. We asked our principal, Mrs. Martin, what she thought about the whole thing. She said, “I think that it is a complicated process to join two different schools together.”

We also asked her if she thought that it would help the Union at all. Her reply was, “I think that there are disadvantages and advantages. We could learn things from them and they could learn things from us. Preferably, I would like to stay as a Union, and I think that they would choose the same.”

The final question that we asked her was do you feel that the consolidation should happen? She said, “I think that it isn’t really up to us but at the same it kind of is. It is really up to the Department of Education. But if we stay together and stay focused on what really matters, then it will work either way.”

No matter what your opinion is we will have to see what happens and hope that everything will work out in the end. The consolidation could go either way, but as Mrs. Martin said, if we stay focused it will be all right.
