Although the academic year just ended, a team at the Midcoast Youth Center, a Bath nonprofit serving local students, is spending the summer helping local students get ready for the upcoming school year.
The nonprofit has a fundraising goal of $20,000 to cover the cost of the supplies. So far, only about $6,300 has been raised.

COVID-19 outbreaks reported at Brunswick, Bath schools
COVID-19 outbreaks have been reported at Bath Middle School and Harriet Beecher Stowe Elementary School in Brunswick.
The Maine Center for Disease Control defines an outbreak as three or more cases of COVID-19 within a 14-day period.
Regional School Unit 1 Superintendent Patrick Manuel announced the outbreak status in Bath Monday afternoon.
“These cases are not epidemiologically linked,” Manuel wrote in an email to the community. “The CDC has informed us that this uptick in cases is due to community spread outside of school. There is no evidence of spread within the school building; therefore, the school will remain open to in-person learning.”
