Another summer has passed and some of us were lucky enough to make it to Maine.  Of course, some alums are lucky enough to live there all year! Here’s what happened on or before  summer vacation this year:

Amy Hunt Morin’s new book has hit the shelves. Her second book, 13 Things Mentally Strong Parents Don’t Do, comes after her bestseller, 13 Things Mentally Strong People Don’t Do. If you haven’t already, check these out!  

Atwood Primary School recently honored Jennifer McGee (G) after winning the 2017 Principal of the Year Award. The award is presented by the Maine Principal’s Association.
