🌲 Forest Field Day Success! 🌲 We had an incredible day hosting the Skowhegan Area Middle School’s Penobscot Team at MSLC for our Forest Field Day! A huge shoutout to our amazing community partners who joined us to share their expertise: Skowhegan Outdoors, 7 Lakes Alliance, L.C. Bates Museum, the Somerset Forester, and Bangor Cooperative Extension. Students explored a wide range of hands-on activities — from planting for erosion control, nature observation through art, and identifying skulls, skins, and tracks, to forest ID and recognizing invasive aquatic plants. 🌿 🎥 Check out this awesome video — filmed and edited by MSLC’s own Ayden Langley and hosted by Wyatt Ellis with support from John Harlow! 👉 Watch here https://drive.google.com/file/d/1pEIQnUhH8SWQUG8bzTVBN85z4FwLVSyl/view?  One SAMS student even shared this heartfelt reflection: “Thank you for providing the Forestry Field Trip. Yesterday’s field trip was a great learning experience for students, as we went outdoors and learned about different trees, leaves, species, and animals. Most children today spend too much time on technology, so this was a really beneficial experience. My favorite activities were the Arts and Crafts station and the Skulls, Animal Tracks & Pelt station. I also loved the playground (petition for one at SAMS!). Thank you, Ms. Greenlaw, for making this possible. This has been the best field trip I’ve had throughout middle school — I love learning about nature, being outdoors, and studying biology!” 🌞 It truly was a memorable event — thank you to everyone who made it possible! 💚 ⸻

We were thrilled to not only attend the Common Ground Fair, but to return several days after to help with cleanup! Read more about our experience in the Aspire River Hawks September Newsletter here: https://sites.google.com/msad54.org/aspireriverhawks/newsletters?authuser=0

Our River Hawks spent the summer traveling with staff—soaking in the sun, the sights, and the downtime before another big year. ☀️🌄📚

From lakeside cabins to gelato and concerts, our team found ways to recharge and reconnect—with some pretty great photo ops, too!

We’re excited to see students back in the building this week, ready for a year full of learning and growth!
