Living in our beautiful rural community has many wonderful advantages. However, driving can be a challenge for many familes juggling work and their children's  school and sport schedules. Having an extra driver in the family can make such a difference for so many families in our area. We work with Roy's Driver and Rider Education to ensure that the students in our community recieve quality driver's education, preparing them to be a safe, defensive driver once they get behind the wheel. For many of these families, having an additional driver is the benefit but, the tuition for driver's education can be a challenge. MSAD#44 Adult and Community Education has scholarships available to students through grants and donations from community members like you. If you and your student would like more information on the driver's ed scholarship, please contact the Adult Education Director Julie Hart at adulted@sad44.org  Thank you!
