Thank you!
Thank you to those parents and students who came to our Open House last night! It was a very excellent opportunity to have some personal time with each of you who came! We would like to thank the Becket House at Litchfield and especially Cathie for the amazing food, including the most excellent chili! The whoopie pies were to die for, as were the homemade brownies with chocolate ganache deliciously placed upon them! If you were unable to attend and would like to schedule a time to come in and visit our facility and staff, please call 207-344-6226! Thanks

Apple Ridge Farm
Today, for those students who were on the appropriate level, we went to Apple Ridge Orchards in Auburn, ME. It was a beautiful day for a trip to the farm! When we arrived, they taught us about the storage and refrigeration process. They actually seal up the room and suck all of the oxygen out of it. That leaves only nitrogen, which helps to preserve the apples. Oxygen will speed up the deterioration process, so that is why it is removed. Then, we were given some bags to go pick some apples. The macs and cortlands were delicious! After that, we returned to the farm and got some fresh pressed apple cider. You would be hard-pressed to find any better cider! It was yummy! They gave us some feed for the farm animals and we went over to visit them. There were goats, pygmy goats, baby sheep, a couple of cows, silky chickens, turkeys and ducks. We then headed back to the school to go home for the weekend!
