The St. Francis Histrotical Society asked Fort Kent High SChool environmental science students to retore the old train turntable and the path leading up to it.  Their semester was spent learning the principles of enviornmantal engineering as well as local history while they cleared trees, painted and created an erosion-proof path.  While studying Franco-American culture in their 8th grade French class at Lewistown Middle School, students interviewed seniors to collect stories for the archieves at the Franco-American Heritage Center at St. Mary's in Lewistown.  Students collected over 70 stories in written, audio and video formats about the mills and shoe factories, holiday and family celebrations, military service and other experiances.  When a 4th grade teacher at North Yarmouth Memorial School noticed students frequesntly complaining about losing the ball at recess, she asked her student what they wanted to do about it.  Students brainstormed a number of suggestions and conducted research by contacting outside experts such as landscapers, fence makers and town officials.  The end result was a much safer playgroup design that included new fencing,. plantings. grading and stonework.  Community help inluded high school students who build new benches as part of their industrial arts class.
