Connect with and share the Maine Loves Public Schools movement
Efforts have accelerated to continue to promote the excellent work of Maine’s public schools.
The mission of Maine Loves Public Schools (MLPS) is to document, curate and share stories from within our school communities to promote trust in, and positive public engagement with, Maine’s public schools.
The Maine Loves Public Schools movement has been energized with a grant from the Maine Department of Education and a partnership with two collaborative film and social media companies.
Together with other education associations, success stories from across the state have been collected to be shared via the MLPS website, “X” account, Instagram, Facebook and YouTube. Please view, connect and share these posts with others in your social media community.
You can join, follow, share and repost on the following platforms!
