Wendy Devore stopped by on Sept. 4 to pick up her Certified Nursing Assistant graduation packet. She is all smiles behind her mask.

Traditionally, Merrymeeting celebrates the successful completion of its CNA program with a ceremony. But students elected to pick up their certificates and pins one at a time, due to Covid 19 precautions. Wendy was just happy to finally have her certificate. She's already started her new job at Mid Coast Hospital in Brunswick.

Congratulations as well to Georg Syphers, Caitlyn Cyr, Maggie Field, Patti Maney, Roxanne Marston, and Anita Lyons. Merrymeeting thanks you for your patience and perseverance in completing your CNA training during this unprecedented time.

A new CNA cohort will begin in October. If you would like more information about becoming a CNA through Merrymeeting, please contact Dawn Wheeler.

Socially distanced and properly masked, Gail Senese, state director of adult education at the Maine Department of Education hands one of four new HP laptops to Merrymeeting Director Allen Lampert on Aug. 17. The new tech was made possible through funding by the Maine Department of Education and Maine Community Foundation.
