CHERRYFIELD, ME — Here is the first group of EdGE Site Coordinator Everett Carroll’s many insightful photos of EdGE students at Harrington Elementary.
Everett said, “The end of the year at Harrington Elementary EdGE finished strong! Youth participated in many physical activities and also worked with science experiments kits provided by the Discovery Museum. Other activities included making their own stories with petroglyphs, painting their nails in Spa Day, creating their own Army Man Launchers, baking off their very creative dragon eyes, making their own milkshakes, cooking, and a pizza party on the final day of program. It was a wonderful year,” said Everett.
EdGE Center Gets Makeover
CHERRYFIELD, ME — When Covid-19 forced a reduced 2020 Housing Rehabilitation Program, Downeast Campus Facilities Manager Scott Shaw used available time to oversee some desired renovations of Downeast Campus EdGE Center building.
Painters spruced up the building inside and out. The old tile flooring is replaced with new polyaspartic flooring. “We took the opportunity to renovate the kitchen – rearranged cabinets, added counter space, a gas stove, new refrigerator, dishwasher, and new sinks,” explained Scott Shaw. The upstairs classroom and offices were carpeted. “The classroom will be a breakout room or a main meeting room for the staff,” said Scott. The office walls had added insulation “to help with privacy.” Additional toilets were also added, the biggest part of the renovation.
The EdGE Center is looking – and serving us – better than ever with these improvements.
