If you have children in AOS 91, you'll want to mark down these important dates for the 2021-2022 School Calendar

Ellsworth's loss is definitely Bar Harbor's gain, as Officer Amie Torrey is leaving the Ellsworth Police Department, to work in Bar Harbor, working patrol overnight, beginning May 30, 2021.

WDEA's Chris Popper sat down with Officer Ken Mitchell with the Mount Desert/Bar Harbor Police Department to learn more about the Good Morning Program.

On Sunday, May 2nd Bar Harbor Police Officer Brad O'Neil signed off for the final time.

Effective May 1st...Masks will no longer be required to be worn outdoors for outdoor events at all AOS 91 schools. Spectators will not be required to wear masks when 6 feet social distancing can be maintained. There is NO change to the requirements that masks must be worn indoors

National Prescription Drug Take-Back Day is Saturday, April 24th, and there are a number of Take-Back events scheduled throughout Hancock County on that day.

Even though State guidelines are permitting fans to attend indoor events starting on March 26th, it was decided at the MDI Regional School System Administrative meeting on Wednesday, March 24th that all MDI Regional School System Schools would remain closed to the public for the forseeable future.

Rather than return to 4 day a week in person learning on Monday, March 15th as planned, MDI High School will delay it a week and plan to return on Monday March 22nd.
