Great things are happening at WCS!

This week we were finally able to celebrate our fall athletes at the Sports Banquet! This season we offered WCS Cross Country in addition to Boys & Girls Soccer and an impressive 60% of our middle school participated in the sports program! 140 people came out to recognize the athletes' effort and achievement. A special thank you to Mary Johnston and Amanda Orff who coordinated and prepared the food for this fun event!

Students spent time decorating pumpkins as book characters for the annual PTA pumpkin contest! This year our entries were judged by Maine State Representative, Allison Hepler, Assistant Superintendent, Katie Joseph and The Director of the Patten Free Library, Lesley Dolinger. The three winning entries were James and the Giant Peach done by Mrs. Pols' second grade class, The Crane Wife done by Ms. Faulkingham's fourth grade class, and Charlotte's Web done by Ms. Gibbs' middle school Life Skills class!

Adults: $7.00

Additional Health Services are available at Morse High School through a partnership with RSU 1 and LincolnHealth.

RSU 1 has partnered with LincolnHealth and is offering expanded school-based health services at Morse. These services may include:

• Treatment of acute, chronic, and injury-related health conditions

• Well-child checks

• Immunizations

• Behavioral health treatment

• Reproductive health

Services are provided by an onsite Nurse Practitioner (NP) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) employed through LincolnHealth. Services are provided in an effort to improve access to health care for youth and staff in schools in a safe, supportive, and confidential way. All major insurances and MaineCare are accepted and sliding fee scales and other payment support are available.
