On Saturday, May 27 Morgan Helena Weimer from Naples graduated from Carrabassett Valley Academy. The ceremony for the 24 members of the class of 2006 was held at the base of Sugarloaf Mountain at 10 a.m. in the Richard Bell Chapel.
Wiemer attended CVA for one year participating in soccer, alpine ski racing, and cross country running. While at CVA she traveled and competed with the alpine ski racing team throughout the United States, Canada and Europe.
