The Perloff Family Foundation, in conjunction with the Maine Community Foundation, has awarded a grant to Caribou High School for the project titled "The Cold War and Loring Air Force Base". Written and overseen my members of the English and Social Studies departments at Caribou High School, this funding will allow grade 11 students to better understand and appreciate the pivotal role Loring AFB played during these tense years. The grant will allow for a guest speaker panel (featuring local citizens), a tour of the former base, and the creation of a DVD to capture this local history. The Cold War, taught in grade 11 Social Studies curriculum, will be reinforced in English classrooms through research, documents, and discussions. For more information or those with questions may contact amargeson@rsu39.org.
