RSU 23 Education Foundation Community Expo returns and adds Kids Carnival to boost community engagement

03/27/2026

All of us from the RSU22 Education Foundation want to say how much we appreciate you.

Your support at the 2026 Community Expo & Kids Carnival meant everything.

It was our first time bringing together business, wellness, and family fun, and this community showed up in a big way.

With over 300 attendees and more than $8,000 raised, you made a real impact for our teachers, students, and community.

We felt it in every smile.

We are so grateful.

We are so grateful for this community.

Because of your support at the Community Expo & Kids Carnival, we welcomed more than 300 attendees and raised over $8,000 to support our Teacher Mini Grant Program.

Everywhere you looked, there were smiles on people’s faces. The feedback has been incredibly encouraging, and it was clear that people were genuinely excited to be there.

This event was more than just a day of fun. It was a reminder of what happens when a community comes together with a shared purpose. Local businesses, families, students, and volunteers all showed up in a big way.

You showed up for our kids, and that matters more than anything.

We would love to hear from you. Comment below if you would like to see this again next year and what you enjoyed most about the day.

We are just getting started.

Momentum has to start somewhere, and for us, H.O. Bouchard helped spark it.

We are so grateful to HO Bouchard for being our first Premier Sponsor of the RSU22 Education Foundation Community Expo and Kids Carnival. Their early support helped build momentum, set the tone for the event, and played an important role in its overall success.

And here’s one more reason to cheer them on. They are currently hiring drivers and offering a $3,500 sign-on or referral bonus for qualified candidates. Check out their page, help support a local business and spread the word.

Thank you, H.O. Bouchard!

The smiles, the energy, and the turnout said it all, as you can see from the photos. Our event was a success, and we are thrilled with the response from the community.

A big thank you to The Bangor Daily News and Pulse Marketing Agency for being a Premier Sponsor of the RSU22 Education Foundation's 2026 Community Expo and Kids Carnival and for helping us get the word out.

Our goal was to bring the community together in a fun, engaging way, and your support helped us do exactly that. We are so grateful for your partnership and for the role you played in helping make this event such a success.

Thank you for supporting our community and helping us create something special.
