National Youth Art<br />

Month is an annual observance<br />

each March to<br />

emphasize the value of art<br />

education and to encourage<br />

public support for quality<br />

school art programs. The<br />

value of art education has<br />

been well researched and<br />

documented. It provides<br />

students with important<br />

critical-thinking and prob-<br />

lem solving skills, as well<br />

as fostering self-esteem,<br />

self-discipline, and an appreciation<br />

for the work<br />

of others. The Youth Art<br />

Month exhibition celebrates<br />

and validates student<br />

achievement in the<br />

visual arts, and the Portland<br />

Museum of Art is proud to<br />

honor the talent and dedication<br />

of these young artists<br />

and their teachers. For<br />

aft er pitching and closing a sale on some of his famous Maine made maple syrup.<br />

Life’s generally a lot simpler<br />

in rural Maine. Th at’s<br />

why for 30 plus years, people<br />

have enjoyed doing<br />

business at Frechette’s Sales<br />

reasons that owner Roland<br />

guy,” says Roland, “he’s<br />
