We have a total! Our auction raised a total of $19,275!!!

Thank you again to all of the businesses who donated goods and gift cards, to the community for supporting us, and to the parents and students who worked so hard to make this auction a success! We appreciate you all! NEXT STOP: WASHINGTON, D.C!

Ms. Hoskins’ 6th graders recently wrapped up a major writing project called “Food Truck Face-Off!” With the tasks of coming up with an original idea for a truck, designing a logo, having a USP, planning a menu with competitive pricing while keeping profit in mind, marketing strategies, as well as determining the location and hours for their business, students had to convince a mysterious investor to invest in the start up of their business.

One major component of this project was to prepare for a mini food truck festival in which staff members visited students’ trucks to hear about each business and taste a sample item from the menu. The following week, students made their pitch presentations to the mystery investor in hopes of striking a deal. This year’s trucks included: Sweet Crumbs, Mammoth Burritos, Taco Dulce, and Cha Cha Cheese!

Students had fun with the friendly competition while learning about some of the behind the scenes challenges of entrepreneurship. A job well done by all!

WCS had strong representation at the RSU 1 STEM City event last night. Students were able to experiment with different technology that is being used throughout our community in a variety of businesses. It was nice to gather together to appreciate how important (and FUN) STEM can be!

Morse High School presents The Addams Family

Friday, April 7th and Saturday, April 8th at 7pm

Montgomery Theater, 826 Shipbuilder Way

Tickets are $5 for all students/ $10 for adults

All ticket sales happen at the door the night of the performance. Cash/check only, please.

Tickets sales will start 1 hour before the performance.

Join MHS as they put on their first musical theater event in over 20 years! The Addams Family, a comical feast that embraces the wackiness in every family, features an original story and it’s every father’s nightmare: Wednesday Addams, the ultimate princess of darkness, has grown up and fallen in love with a sweet, smart young man from a respectable family–a man her parents have never met. And if that wasn’t upsetting enough, Wednesday confides in her father and begs him not to tell her mother. Now, Gomez Addams must do something he’s never done before–keep a secret from his beloved wife, Morticia. Everything will change for the whole family on the fateful night they host a dinner for Wednesday’s “normal” boyfriend and his parents.

• The results are in for Chickadee and Maine Student Book Award programs! Our 4th-8th grade students had the opportunity to read 3 MSBA books and vote...over 80 students cast a vote. The official MSBA winner is Alone by Megan Freeman; kids at WCS love the book, and it missed the 1st place at WCS by only 1 vote! Our K-3 students listened to 10 different picture books and voted for their favorite. It was a close race with Negative Cat by Sophie Backall winning at WCS. The official Chickadee Book Award winner is Chez Bob by Bob Shea which was the WCS runner up. Ask your own child which book they loved the best!

• This week the third graders held a Dance-A-Thon fundraiser to help pay for next year's swim lessons. Third graders participate in these lessons each year at the YMCA. Learning to swim gives kids confidence in the water and the knowledge of water safety basics- important skills to have in a state with over 3,500 miles of coastline!
