CLIMBING – East Grand Outdoor Education students, from left, David Cropley, Dustin Morse and Robert Cousins review climbing wall knots and commands in preparation to use the newly completed rock wall. Generous donations from Louisiana Pacific of New Limerick, Machias Savings Bank and the Town of Danforth, along with volunteer hours from Carl Crone Construction has made getting the wall back on line a reality. It has been more then five years since the wall was relocated in the gym after renovations.

    Members of the East Grand Outdoor Education Class also took the stage and discussed the challenges and fun of the upcoming Adventure Race, which is scheduled for May 17 in the Danforth area.
    The Houlton Pioneer Times will be running a story about the Adventure Race, with more information in the coming weeks.
