YCREA Day of Caring 2023
2021 Day of Caring
This is our twelfth year of our MEA Retired Educators Day of Caring. Each MEA-RETIRED County Association is asked to doing something special for a school in their county on or around September 11th to honor the memory of those who gave their lives on September 11, 2001.
We had a beautiful day, lots of food and a great feeling of doing something nice for someone else. And the final extra special activity was to share pizza with the Saco Firefighters.
We worked at the Young School in Saco with four of our members and the principal and three members of their parent group and school board members. We were a small but mighty group and accomplished all that was planned. We are especially excited about the playground games we painted. Thanks to Staples, we had a filled school box for each of the students. We were also able to present the principal a donation from our York County Retired Educators and Maine Retired Educators.
