In Aroostook County, small business owners are more than just a part of our economy, they are active and integral members of our community. Donna Murchison is a perfect example of that.

Pres. Jackson lauds investment in County Pre-K programs
In Aroostook County, we understand the value of preschool. It ensures that parents have a place to drop off their 4-year-olds while they go to work and it ensures that our young kids show up to kindergarten ready to learn. I’m thrilled that both Caribou and Limestone schools will receive critical funds to expand their already successful programs thanks to our work in the Maine Legislature. However, I hope it’s just the beginning. All County preschool programs deserve additional support.
