PRESQUE ISLE, Maine — Wintergreen Arts Center will take a creative approach to teaching children in its new preschool initiative.
The program, set to begin this fall, will offer movement, sensory stimulation, arts and crafts based classes.
“We are going to enhance these little ones through rice, sand, music, instruments (and) singing,” Wintergreen co-chair Heather Harvell says.
For some, spring cleaning is a time-honored ritual, which doesn’t just apply to your house. Remember that your car is likely in desperate need of some attention after the winter months.
To the editor:
Analytics are big these days in business, sports and politics. When it comes to auto care, the numbers tell a very revealing story as 80 percent of vehicles inspected at community car care events last year required service, a new part and/or repair.
Newspaper opens pages to student writers, artists
Newspapers can be found on coffee tables, store racks, libraries, and, just as importantly, in the classrooms of most school systems.
Idea to use newspapers as living textbook
originated in Maine nearly 221 years ago
The value of using the newspaper as an educational tool was voiced more than 220 years ago by a wise newspaper publisher in Portland, Maine who wrote an editorial on the subject, published June 8, 1795. The message is just as relevant today:
Fourth- through eighth-graders from Aroostook County schools were invited to contribute to “Potatoes and Pussywillows”, an anthology collected and sponsored by the directors of Aroostook Right To Read.
It’s a Wrap

The sun was shining brightly through the shaded windows of Emily’s room. Her kitten, Shadow, pounced onto her stomach causing her to tumble off her bed and in that split second she awoke.
It’s just a dream, right?

It’s after me! A dark figure looming in the wall. With its blood red eyes pinned on me! Okay I want to wake up now! Now I’m really scared now! It keeps saying, “must get rid of midnight rider.” But I don’t know what it means! I felt someone grab me. Paws off! I scream.
