4/6 - 8th-GRADE AUCTION!

Great things are happening at WCS!

We are in the midst of our Chickadee Book Award reading program. K-4th grade students all across Maine can participate in this literacy initiative. WCS students hear one book per day for ten consecutive days. The books are read to them by different staff members. Ask your student who read to them this week!

5th grader, Chase Walker, designed and built a garden frame for the Maine Native Seeds that his class is growing in the Outdoor Classroom. These seeds will sprout soon and students will have a chance to see the germination process in action!

Running Club permission forms were sent home this week! Be on the look out for this paper, and be sure to return a signed copy by 4/12 for your student to participate. This year shirts can be ordered online, directly from the company! See details below.

The mystery staff readers who participated in last week's Masked Reader challenge have been revealed! Many thanks to: Ms. Moran 🦄, Mrs. Fuller 🐰, Ms. Shearer 🐶, Mrs. Sturgeon 🐻, and Mr. Libby 🧝‍♂️ for making this event so fun!

• Save the date for our annual 8th-Grade Auction, being held on Saturday, April 6th. The funds raised at this event will support our 8th-grade class trip to Washington, D.C. CLICK HERE to preview the current list of donations.

• UPDATE: The 5th-grade concert date has been moved to share the show with both the Beginner Band, the Concert Band and the Middle School Chorus on 3/26. Students in 5th grade (and those in Band and Chorus) will perform at 6pm that evening!

In accordance with School Board policy, the following promotional announcements have been included at the request of the sponsoring organization because they may be of interest to students and their families. These activities are not sponsored by the school, and inclusion of these announcements does not constitute endorsement of the organizations or activities by the school.

Could Your Child Benefit from Mentoring?

When it comes to our children's future, we’re in this together. Big Brothers Big Sisters of Bath/Brunswick pairs screened positive mentors with youth to create a community where all children achieve success.

We offer school-based mentoring, in which your child is matched with a trained adult volunteer who meets with them weekly at their school for lunch and recess. We also offer community-based mentoring, in which your child and their Big meet to do fun things together on a schedule that works for them.

All our programs are free! Contact your school counselor for more information or visit bbbsbathbrunswick.org.
