METS 7th graders from Caribou Middle school had the chance to take a college trip to UMPI this past week. At the Northern Maine Museum of Science and Mathematics they saw a hammerhead shark, a Atlantic Leatherback Sea Turtle and more. They also checked out where the solar system that runs along Route 1 begins.
The students enjoyed learning about the campus and seeing the museum.
Patsy Takemoto Mink was a Congresswoman from Hawaii from 1965-1977 and again from 1990-2002. Amongst the many issues Congresswoman Mink championed was the educational rights of low-income women and children. The Patsy Takemoto Mink Educational Foundation looks to continue her work with scholarships awarded annually to women with children looking to continue their education.
