Spent the day at the Challenger Learning Center of Maine planning for our Mission to Mars that we will take during our Summer Academy. Jennifer Therrien presented me with a certificate of completion after a day of training to help lead the Mars mission this summer.

Quality education is a community effort. If you missed out on the opportunity to tour Mt. Blue High School and see Foster Tech Center programs on Tuesday, there are still two more dates to stop in and see the great things they are doing there. You might even see a Bridge Academy Maine student somewhere along the way!
