Community Event

The split harvest break between P.I. High School and the middle and elementary schools, left hundred's of kids without food service for part of the summer.

During that time, this partnership has been an avenue for many students to continue their education and either transfer to a 4-year institution or join the workforce.

Deschene said, "Our biggest problems this year have been with special ed. Our costs are growing rapidly."

On Friday night, parents, students, and teachers showed up to view some of the best artwork from 13 different schools in Aroostook County.

Because McPherson’s focus is on process and expression, the end result is widely varied.

To date, the project has raised $275,000 in cash and pledges towards the $332,000 goal.

A Gift from the Future to the Leisure Village Writers will take place on Sunday, Jan 21, in the dining room of Leisure Village in Presque Isle.

Each year, students from the Presque Isle High School Varsity Club help the United Way of Aroostook organize and pack the toys that the community donates.

Along with collecting items for the homeless, there will be free samples throughout the store and a special 'Kids Korner' with a visit from Old St. Nick!

Thanks to the County folks on the parade route, about $2000 worth of toys were collected for less fortunate kids in the area.
