Geocache Description:

This cache is a series of five small caches leading to a final larger cache. Traveling from cache to cache will take you to the grounds of each of the elementary schools in SAD 37, where you will be expected to answer multiple choice questions in one of five different subject areas: Art, Maine Studies, English, Science, and Math. Answering these questions correctly will provide the information you'll need to find the next cache in the series, and part of the location of the final cache.

The cache was designed and placed by students of SAD 37 as part of the EdGE program's Advanced Technology camp in July of 2005.
Because all but the final cache are located on school grounds, please DO NOT visit during school hours (7:30 AM - 3 PM, M-F), except during the summer. The principals of each school happily granted permission for these caches to be placed, but strangers stomping around on their grounds during the school day will rapidly change their minds and threaten the viability of this cache. None of the caches are within one hundred yards of the school buildings.
