What started as a student-led Cinco de Mayo fundraiser at Erskine Academy has grown into something much bigger! The Maine Department of Education (DOE) is excited to announce the return of Pine Tree Programming, a statewide initiative that brings hands-on computer science learning to Maine students through engaging, after-school programming with micro:bits. The Maine Department of Education congratulates Donna Olsen, a history teacher at Lewiston High School (Lewiston Public Schools) and Maine’s 2026 History Teacher of the Year, as one of 10 finalists for the Gilder Lehrman Institute of American History’s 2026 National History Teacher of the Year Award. Olsen’s advancement to the final stage of this prestigious national award demonstrates her dedication to Lewiston High School students, the Lewiston community, and history education across Maine. In celebration of Native American Heritage Month, the Maine Department of Education (DOE) invites educators and communities to engage students in learning about the enduring presence, contributions, and rich cultures of the Wabanaki Nations, who have lived in the place we now call Maine for more than 13,000 years. The 2026-2026 Arts Learning Exchange Series has begun! We are excited to co-host this amazing series with the Maine Arts Commission! The Maine Department of Education (DOE) Coordinated School Health Team is excited to announce the launch of the 2026-2027 School Health Webinar Series. This series is designed for those who work to support student health and well-being, including school health professionals, pediatricians, and school health advisors. The @portlandpublic Schools’ Nature Program gives young learners opportunities to explore the outdoors, build relationships, and develop important skills that help prepare them for school. For seven years, Dedham School’s Mountain Biking Team has helped middle school students build biking skills, explore the outdoors, and strengthen friendships through teamwork and adventure. The Maine DOE, in collaboration with the Maine DHHS Office of Child and Family Services, is offering Young Mathematicians, a FREE professional learning opportunity for early care and education professionals serving children ages 3–6.
