Thank you Thursday to the Teaching and Learning Collaborative (TLC)
NORTHEAST HARBOR, ME — It’s Thank you Thursday. Today’s shout out of Mission love goes to The Outer Islands Teaching & Learning Collaborative (TLC). The TLC is one of the many supports offered by The Island Institute, a non-profit organization based in Rockland, Maine.
The TLC brings students and teachers together from one- and two-room island schools in Maine and Massachusetts. The TLC excels at creating a virtual classroom where students meet for grade focused learning, student council meetings, weekly exercise groups, and a wide variety of super fun social events. The TLC also hosts off island field trips and provides resources for island teachers, many of whom teach in isolation of other educators.
TLC staff Robin Chernow and Yvonne Thomas and the Mission’s Director of Island Outreach and Chaplain Douglas Cornman collaborate throughout the school year to support one others’ work with students and teachers.
Thanks Robin, Yvonne, and the TLC for your unwavering, creative, and ingenious support of island kids, teachers, and communities. You’re awesome!
This is what community looks like.

MDI Senior Swims 6-Mile Ferry Route to Benefit Swan’s Island Youth
NORTHEAST HARBOR, ME — I wanted to bring this news story to your attention. Tuesday, September 1, Sage Dentremont, a current senior at MDI High School and a Swan’s Island resident, swam six miles — Swan’s Island to Bass Harbor — to raise money for other Swan’s Island kids to take swim lessons at the Ellsworth YMCA.
The $10,000-plus Sage raised will help pay for ferry tickets and swim fees at the YMCA.
Sage is an amazing young person. She attended the Mission’s middle school retreat while still an island student, and as a high school student, she participated on the retreat Q & A panel. She is just a great kid!
Here is the Fox News story and video.
I wanted to celebrate her accomplishment and generosity towards others. To add to Sage’s fundraising visit her GoFundMe page.

Seacoast Mission’s Sunbeam V splashes after year- long refit
By Laurie Schreiber
Front Street Shipyard in Belfast launched Maine Seacoast Mission’s 75-foot-long telemedicine vessel Sunbeam V on Monday, after a 14-month refit.
System tests performed at the shipyard’s dock are now underway, to be followed by sea trials.
Delivery to the mission, which is relocating from Bar Harbor to Northeast Harbor, is expected by early October.
The Sunbeam V arrived at Front Street in May 2019.
The ship underwent extensive hull maintenance, cosmetic updates and equipment upgrades….
