At this point, I think we can safely say that winter is here! Soft snow is falling this morning, which is a great change after this weekend's ice storm. I hope everyone was able to stay warm, and that you've all been able to get power back on at your homes. Winter at The PORT is shaping up to be a lot of fun, so keep in touch as we plan outings and events to keep everyone busy.
Trailblazers had our last December session on study skills yesterday, wrapping up with a trip to the Portland Art Museum. We worked through a couple of different activities designed to help us learn about gathering relevant information, taking good notes, and summarizing.Next up for Trailblazers is Creating Comics in January, when a local graphic novelist will conduct a series of workshops culminating in a finished comic. If you're interested in signing up, click here and then follow the link "Trailblazers for Teens".
We're also getting geared up for our next PORT Outdoors trip on January 24th & 25th. We'll be heading out to the Poplar Stream Falls Hut in the Carrabassett Valley, which is the newest of the Maine Huts. Check it out -- they'll serve us hot supper and breakfast, give us bunks to sleep in, and provide a great winter hangout. More info will be forthcoming, so stay tuned!
I hope we'll see you all at The PORT soon, but for now, happy holidays!
Sarah
