TEACHERS ROCK … Conners Emerson School students worked together to create this photo collage for Teacher Appreciation Week this week. “Normally we celebrate (the teachers) with food and gifts, something each day,” said Parent Teacher Student Association leader Jen Plunkett. This year, the food and gifts will have to wait a bit, but the PTSA organized this photo collage and a slideshow for teachers to thank them for all they do. PHOTO COURTESY OF CONNERS EMERSON PTSA

SAFE THIS WAY … Café This Way’s menu sign on Mount Desert Street received this “yarn bomb” crocheted decoration ahead of the café’s Mother’s Day weekend opening for breakfast takeout. “It’s a fun sign to indicate that we’re here, alive and well,” co-owner Susanne Hathaway told WABI. “We’re here, and we’re masked, and we’re ready to cook for you.” See takeout menu on the Café This Way Facebook page.

BRINGING IN THE CATCH… Two fishermen in Southwest Harbor finish up for the day on Monday near the Lower Town Dock on Clark Point Road. Even though it was a foggy morning, one said the warmer weather has made it easier to be out on the water. ISLANDER PHOTO BY SARAH HINCKLEY
