Maine Adult Education

The NACE Kindergarten Book Bag Project has been supporting incoming kindergarteners within our community for over 20 years. Our goal is to encourage education within the community, and get future kindergarteners excited about learning! Each bag contains resources for parents and fun activities for kids. This year, for the first time, we will also be making a pencil roll case for our new incoming pre-K students!

Each year, a group of volunteers work together to put these bags together, and with the generous support of local businesses and groups we are able to get supplies to put in the bags. Last year, our team put together almost 200 book bags, with extra to spare!

Volunteers help with: sewing bags, handles, and pencil roll cases, cutting, ironing, turning bags inside out
