The Franklin County Retired Educators recently participated in the annual Day of Caring sponsored by the Maine Education Association Retired. To help the new teachers hired this year at Academy Hill School in Wilton, they bought supplies the teachers needed to set up their classrooms. The items included math manipulatives, flash cards and books. Displaying some materials are Courtney Bailey, grade four; Joanne Dunlap, Day of Caring chairwoman; Shannon Lee, grade two; Terry Sawyer, education association member; and Haley Teacutter, grade 4.
