The school has a website, but we've noticed some ...failings.
And so The Frenchboro School Blog was born!
The kids are very excited about this (but I suspect not as much as Ms. Finn)!

Everything you never wanted to know about life on a very small island, and the tricks that keep me sane.

- A slightly crazy, sort-of-stay-at-home-mom of 2, obsessive compulsive knitter who is married to a Commercial Lobsterman, and all the fun that goes with that! I live on an island eight miles out to sea. A very, very small island. What does a Boston-born city girl do while marooned on Maine island year round? My response is to raise a couple of kids, cook like a fiend, take on every charitable position available, and have fun! Here's a peek at our crazy life on this rock in the middle of nowhere, Maine!
Welcome to my world!
Frenchboro is one of 14 islands off the coast of Maine that can boast year round residents. There are 31 of us alleged adults here this winter, plus 16 kids under thirteen.
We have a K-8 one- room Schoolhouse, a Library, a church, and a Contracted Post Office. Yes, we get mail 6 days a week! We are able to travel to the mainland 3 times a week (weather permitting), but you may only travel in one direction-on or off.
In 2008, I added the island's first
year -round food business:
There is a general store (with take-out) open May to November,
( Overstuffed lobster rolls on home made rolls!)
Now shipping live lobster nation-wide!
There is a gift shop located within the Museum, and a seasonal take-out, The Dockside Deli, open July and August
You really have to like it to survive here.
On Frenchboro, you make your own fun and excitement. I knit.
Because I don't have a Nanny, and therefore, can't drink.

ReplyDeleteIf I ever move to Frenchboro - I would SO totally try get the kids into musical theatre.
The school looks great...almost makes me want to go and get my teaching license (just got 1 years work to do to get the damn thing)...I love small schools, and the kids look great too. Teachers look like they are having a good time. :) Let me know if the kids want something from down under, and i will see if I can get it to them.
ReplyDeleteHi..thanks for stopping by my blog and leaving a lovely comment! What a life you lead out there on your island...I'm intrigued! I spent part of my childhood in a similar setting but on the west coast of Scotland.....I only have good memories of my time there!
