COMMUNITY SPOTLIGHT









We want you to meet
Bella Rossborough........

She is a recent graduate of MSK and will be entering Kennebunk High School in September. Bella chose to do her 8th grade community project with Matt and Sheri Poftak from Biddeford Pool.

Bella's grandmother, Bett, has been living with Alzheimer's for many, many years so Bella understands the reality of the disease. She wanted to do a meaningful project for someone with Alzheimer's to help them "remember the
good times." 
Bella interviewed Matt on 3 separate occasions with some assistance from his wife, Sheri. Bella took the information and created a beautiful memory book for Matt. It has quotes, pictures of his family, Matt's favorite things and past events that he and Sheri can look back on together.

Center for Wildlife presents Nature's Nightshift: Nocturnal Animals
September 12th at 1pm
We will welcome the public, but please RSVP.

A wonderful introduction to Maine’s creatures of the night. How does a bat find thousands of tiny mosquitoes in the dark? Why would an opossum choose to lumber around at night? How does a porcupine defend himself against a predator? How can an owl see its way through the forest? Wild animals continue their hard work, even as we sleep. Using live animals and hands-on materials we will answer these questions and find out how nocturnal mammals utilize all of their senses to find food and shelter at night. Our beautiful live non-releasable animal ambassadors will also demonstrate some unique adaptations these animals have to be observed up close.
