Everett Carroll is an EdGE Site Coordinator. EdGE Afterschool Programs, adjusted to new Covid-19 and school protocols, are underway. Everett sent this update on his experience teaching yoga to Pre-K to 6th graders at Milbridge Elementary School.
MILBRIDGE, ME — I have been working at the Milbridge Elementary School teaching yoga to kids Pre-K to 6th grade. They absolutely love it. The teachers are big fans. Sometimes they join in. Yoga is an excellent opportunity for the kids to work hard, get physical exercise, and reflect and unwind. Yoga is also a chance for “mask free” breaks. The kids have their own safe space on the mats.
I clean and wipe down all yoga mats between grades.
When asked what their favorite class is, almost all students said yoga. It has been a great joy and the kids have loved having me there.

It’s Thank you Thursday. Today’s shout out of Mission love goes to Rick Erb, President & CEO of the Maine Health Care Association (MHCA).
Rick has worked with our Island Elder Care group over the past several years. He has attended our Island Elder Care conference and been an advocate for the group at the State legislative level. Rick is always available, helping us find answers to so many questions.
Our small island elder care homes would not be as prepared as they are without the resources and help of Rick Erb and MHCA. It has been a pleasure to work with someone so professional and caring.
This is what community looks like.

Seacoast Mission, MD365 home almost done

MOUNT DESERT — The new building on Old Firehouse Lane in Northeast Harbor that will house the offices of the Maine Seacoast Mission and Mount Desert 365, as well as two residential apartments, is almost finished.
“We’re hoping to complete it in September and to move in in late September or early October,” said Kathy Miller, executive director of MD365, the nonprofit organization working to boost economic development and affordable housing.
“The coronavirus delayed some of the construction,” Miller said. “Earlier in the year, some of the crews were short; they didn’t have enough people.”
