SACO — Saco & Biddeford Savings Institution donated over $975 to support the Westbrook School Department’s first community wide reading challenge, “90 Days of Reading, 90 Days of Wonder.” The reading challenge encourages the Westbrook community to read the book “Wonder” by Raquel J. Palacio, which brings readers through a story about resilience, acceptance and the power of kindness.
Through SBSI’s donation, the Westbrook School Department will be able to provide over 90 “Wonder” books to students, including copies translated into Arabic, French and Spanish to encourage international students to participate as well.

We believe it's important to offer commenting on certain stories as a benefit to our readers. At its best, our comments sections can be a productive platform for readers to engage with our journalism, offer thoughts on coverage and issues, and drive conversation in a respectful, solutions-based way. It's a form of open discourse that can be useful to our community, public officials, journalists and others.
We do not enable comments on everything — exceptions include most crime stories, and coverage involving personal tragedy or sensitive issues that invite personal attacks instead of thoughtful discussion.
