AUGUSTA – The Maine Principals’ Association has named Ralph Cabana of South Portland and Frank Page of Orrington as the recipients of the MPA’s 2004 Service to Maine Youth Award.

The annual award recognizes individuals who have made an outstanding contribution to the youth of Maine through education and-or the general welfare of Maine youth.

Cabana has volunteered in South Portland schools for more than 10 years, working with hard-to-teach children in the elementary, middle and high schools. Page is the founder and director of the Maine Middle School Science Fair, which celebrates its 20th anniversary this spring.

Cabana and Page will be honored at the MPA’s Spring Conference awards banquet on April 29.
