Many are familiar with The Blue Devil Fund, a not-for-profit organization started by Calais High School alumnus Chris Taylor. Since its inception in 2010, The Blue Devil Fund has raised well over $250,000 for charities in the downeast region.

In 2018, Taylor added a book drive to the organization’s growing list of giving campaigns. Since then, more than 8,000 books have been donated to schoolchildren throughout Washington County.

Calais Elementary School’s Parent Teacher Organization (PTO) is bringing back a favorite holiday tradition — the Santa Shop, set to run December 15 through 17.

The annual event gives CES students the opportunity to pick out thoughtful gifts for family members, with each item priced at just 25 cents. Members of the Student Council will also be lending a hand, helping younger shoppers wrap their presents and spread holiday cheer.
