Student Helpers at Teens to Trails.

Ideally, these would be students who enjoy spending time outdoors, so they could write personal notes on the letters.
The mailing prep will be set up Tuesday and Wednesday and students can schedule a time to come in after school to help for 1-2 hours for service work credit. Tuesday & Wednesday Nov 21-22. 1-4pm.
The Maine Department of Education (DOE) is opening applications for the 2023/2024 Student Cabinet, a group of students that meet regularly with the Maine DOE and each other to discuss educational opportunities, improvements, and policy. Facilitated by student representatives from the Maine State Board of Education, the purpose of the Student Cabinet is to provide a forum for Maine students’ voices to be heard. This is the fourth year the Maine DOE has appointed students to a Student Cabinet with the goal of integrating student voices into decision-making on education issues that impact their journey through Maine’s education system.
Instructions for applying:
Students interested in serving on the Maine DOE Student Cabinet will need to submit the electronic application by November 15, 2023. Applications can be submitted electronically here.
