Bangor Regional Program Hosts Exciting Touch-a-Truck Event

Students at the Bangor Regional Program recently enjoyed an exciting and educational Touch-a-Truck event, giving them the opportunity to get up close and personal with a variety of impressive vehicles from our local community.

Participants explored a Bangor Fire Department ladder truck, climbed aboard a Hughes Brothers dump truck, checked out a Fidium Fiber cable bucket truck, and learned about the important work performed by a Morin Oil delivery truck. Students also had the chance to admire two beautiful classic cars that added a special touch to the event.

The hands-on experience allowed students to learn about different careers, ask questions, and see firsthand how these vehicles serve our community every day. The excitement and curiosity on students' faces made the event a tremendous success.

A heartfelt thank you goes out to Bangor Fire Department, Hughes Brothers, Fidium Fiber, Morin Oil, and the owners of the classic cars, Kit Carson and Corty Lindsey, for generously sharing their time, vehicles, and expertise with our students. Community partnerships like these help create memorable learning experiences that our students will remember for years to come.

We are grateful to everyone who helped make this amazing Touch-a-Truck event possible! #WeAreBangor

Fruit Street students brought the energy for our annual Move-A-Thon. They raced through an obstacle course, jumping, zig-zagging, and cheering each other on every step of the way! Thanks to the incredible support from our families and community, our runners helped raise money for our school’s PTO, supporting programs and experiences that make our school so special. And of course, after all that hard work… it was time to cool down with popsicles! #WeAreBangor

The Downeast Institute brought the ocean right to the Abraham Lincoln School with an incredible touch tank experience, giving students a hands-on look at Maine’s fascinating marine life. Students got to gently explore a rare blue lobster, sea stars, watch a curious hermit crab peek out of its shell, feel the smooth spiral of periwinkles, and learn about blue mussels that help keep our waters clean. A huge thank you to the Downeast Institute for inspiring our young ocean explorers and bringing science to life! #WeAreBangor

Bangor School Garden Summer Volunteers Needed!

The Bangor School Department invites students, families, staff, and community members to become Bangor School Garden Summer Volunteers. Students plant and care for our school gardens during the school year, but we need community support during the critical summer growing months to help the gardens thrive. Volunteering is a wonderful opportunity for adults and children alike to spend time outdoors, connect with nature, learn about gardening and pollinators, harvest fresh produce, and help maintain vibrant outdoor learning spaces for students to return to in the fall.

Summer volunteers commit to caring for a school garden for a one-week interval (or more!) between June 22 and August 30. Volunteers are asked to visit the garden at least twice during their selected week(s) to help with watering and weeding. Some gardens may also offer produce to harvest and enjoy at home.

No prior gardening experience or volunteer training is required. Interested volunteers can sign up using the link below, where you will also find contact information for each School Garden Coordinator who can answer questions and provide additional guidance for each school garden.
