#RedForEd Strong in Bar Harbor Marianne Tripp and Rachel Singh are decked out in their #RedForEd gear on a recent Wednesday. The educators of the Bar Harbor Teachers Association wear red on Wednesdays to show support for our public schools as they continue to advocate for the schools our students deserve. Wearing red is one way the local makes it clear the educators are a unified front with a common voice and common goal. Make sure you're wearing red each Wednesday!
