MPS Positivity Project: Our AMAZING Kindergarten teachers are our students Welcome to the World of Learning. Not only do they unlock the keys to literacy and math, they teach social skills, personal hygiene, fine motor skills, emotional regulation, making connections, following routines, communication skills and organization to name a few.

Proof! There were blue skies this morning! Since then, it has clouded over. But the dry weather and relative warmth still has a bit of extra pep in many people's step. Plus, it's hard not to smile when there are flowering trees showing off all over the landscape.

Mother's Day is SUNDAY, this Sunday.  Luckily there are plenty of absolutely lovely local places to pop in and pick up a gift or gift certificate.

Here's your Shop Local hint from Waterville First
