BATTLE OF THE BOOKS

This week we hosted RSU 1’s 26th Annual Battle of the Books for WCS students and students in the surrounding area schools (Fisher Mitchell, Phippsburg, West Bath, Georgetown). The Battle of the Books is a game show style competition for students; they read as many of the Maine Student Book Award nominees as possible and then answer questions about these books. Some students read all of the 30+ books on the list! It takes many months to prepare for the Battle of the Books and hours of reading. 26 WCS students participated and did an outstanding job! A special congratulations goes out to this year's Battle of the Books champions, the 6th-grade team from WCS!

MAINE STATE SPELLING BEE

This past weekend, our own 8th grader, Rory Leeman participated in the Maine State level of the Scripps National Spelling Bee. Rory did very well, making it to round 4 of the 2.5 hour competition. We are so proud of her wonderful spelling skills, as well as her calm and professional stage presence as she represented Sagadahoc county!

ODYSSEY OF THE MIND

This past weekend we were privileged to send 3 great teams to the Maine State Odyssey of the Mind tournament. We are so proud of each team for their hard work. It was the first time the K-2 team had ever competed, and our 4-5th grade team placed 7th for the entire state! The 6th grade team placed 3rd, earning a trophy for their hard work.
