EdGE Using GSK Science Kits at Student Homes

EdGE Using GSK Science Kits at Student Homes

by | Dec 14, 2020 | EdGE, Maine Seacoast Mission, News

CHERRYFIELD, ME — This is a photo of 100 bags of the GSK Science in the Summer science kits we recently received from the Maine Discovery Museum. We also used such kits this year for summer camps. GSK Science in the Summer is a science education program for students entering second through sixth grades.

Each bag holds six different science experiments:

  • Medicine Makers
  • Slime Specialist
  • Will it Mix
  • Color Creator
  • Invisible Change
  • Water Watchers

We will be using the kits for after-school programming and sending kits for families to use at home by the end of December or early January.

It’s Thank you Thursday for Local EdGE Elementary Schools

by | Dec 10, 2020 | EdGE, Maine Seacoast Mission, News, Thank You Thursday

It’s Thank you Thursday. Today’s shout out of Mission love goes to local elementary schools that partner for programming with Maine Seacoast Mission’s EdGE Program: Milbridge Elementary, Cherryfield Elementary, Harrington Elementary, DW Merritt Elementary (Addison), Jonesport Elementary, Beals Elementary, and Rose M. Gaffney Elementary (Machias).

EdGE provides after-school and in-school programming for students at these schools. EdGE after-school programs are an opportunity for students to choose from a variety of experiential, creative, and thought-provoking activities. EdGE in-school programming ranges from leadership activities to team building and trust activities.

Most EdGE staff for after-school programs are teachers who work at the school during the day. Collaboration with these teachers and administrators makes EdGE successful. Thank you all for supporting and providing EdGE to Washington County children.

This is what community looks like.

It’s Thank you Thursday. Today’s shout out of Mission love goes to the Maine Coast Heritage Trust (MCHT). The MCHT mission statement is that they conserve and steward Maine’s coastal lands and islands for their renowned scenic beauty, ecological value, outdoor recreational opportunities, and contribution to community well-being. MCHT provides statewide conservation leadership through its work with land trusts, coastal communities and other partners.

MCHT and the Maine Seacoast Mission’s EdGE program have been partnering for over nine years to bring outdoor recreational opportunities to students in Washington County.

Over the years, the programming has ranged from hiking during the afterschool program, weekend activities, outing clubs, and opportunities to explore the MCHT preserves during summer camps. The MCHT stewards that work with the students have always been great at sharing their love of nature with the students.

Thank you to all the MCHT stewards who have been involved in helping bring the appreciation of the outdoors to the children of Washington County.
