Huge congratulations to the 2025 Maine Association for Health, Physical Education, Recreation, and Dance Award Winners! @maineahperd The Can We? Project continues to empower young people across Maine and New Hampshire with the skills to listen, engage respectfully, and lead through dialogue. From ongoing school-based work to regional gatherings like Can We? Connect, students are building stronger communities and learning how to navigate differences together. At Jordan-Small Middle School in RSU 14, Students are taking science out of the classroom and into nature with a new outdoor education pilot that’s sparking curiosity, teamwork, and hands-on learning. What an amazing year for youth in Maine agriculture! From statewide events to leadership opportunities and unforgettable experiences, Maine FFA helped make the Year of Youth in Agriculture one to remember. Grants are now available to support after-school and summer learning programs for the 2026–2027 school year through the 21st Century Community Learning Centers (21st CCLC) program. These funds help expand high-quality academic enrichment and support services for students during non-school hours. Applications are due April 7, 2026. The Maine DOE is now recruiting educators for a High-Quality Instructional Material Capacity-Building Cohort — a great chance to deepen your expertise and help lead for stronger, standards-aligned learning statewide. Students and educators at Princeton Elementary School showcased incredible hands-on STEAM learning during a recent Maine DOE Learning Tour—from robotics and coding to creative, real-world problem solving. The innovation, engagement, and excitement on display were inspiring! 👏 Know an exceptional early childhood educator? Nominations are now open for the 2026 Outstanding Early Childhood Professionals Spotlight! Celebrate the incredible work of those who nurture and support children from birth to age 8 — whether they teach in schools, childcare programs, or home-visiting settings. Thank you, Becky Hallowell: 2025 Maine Teacher of the Year, for your incredible service, leadership, and dedication to Maine’s students and educators. From your innovative, place-based classroom practices to your thoughtful advocacy about what truly matters in education—you inspire us all.
