It is with great pride that, until my retirement last year, I taught instrumental music in Camden and Rockport for 36 of my 38-year teaching career. Our music program, K-12, was held in the highest esteem in our state. It was a program which others sought to emulate. It has come to my attention, however, that the quality of the music program in our community is now in jeopardy.
Camden-Rockport Middle School is proposing removing seventh and eighth grade chorus from the school day and moving it to before school as a stipend position. It would not need to be taught by a certified teacher and would be offered for only a segmented amount of time.

The Camden Public Library and Stewardship Education Alliance (S.E.A.) welcome Maine Poet Laureate Stuart Kestenbaum on Thursday, May 27, at 6 p.m., for a special evening of poetry.
The poetry event will kick off a two-week “Poetry on Windows” (POW!) is a celebration of poetry and the environment in which talented scribes draw poetry (written by students in local schools) on the windows of Camden storefronts.
Kestenbaum will read selections of his work, discuss the creative process, and participate in a question and answer session with the audience.
The presentation will take place on Zoom. Please email jpierce@librarycamden.org to request a link to attend.
