Thank you for your interest in donating to the teachers, schools and programs in RSU5 Durham, Freeport, and Pownal.  Our mission is to provide our students with a world-class education that will challenge minds, engage creativity, develop self-discipline, and advance inherent strengths.  Financial resources are – and will continue to be – scarce and often less than optimally desired.  RU5 is vigilant in ensuring our resources are best spent in ways that will continue to promote our mission and vision. 

The additional resources provided through donations enable individual teachers, schools, and programs to access materials and engage in activities that are not provided through the taxpayer supported budget.
