Woolwich Central School K-2, 4/5, and 6th grade Odyssey of the Mind Teams will be competing in the Maine State Tournament. This is the largest group that WCS has sent to compete in 5 years. The competition is happening Saturday, March 25th at Noble High School.

Fifteen students from Bath Tech traveled to Bangor last week to compete against other CTE schools in the Maine State SkillsUSA competition. The following students earned medals: Olyvia Oxton and Eleanor Nery won gold in Wedding Cake Decorating, Payton Blagdon won gold in Cabinet Making, Rylie Harper won gold in Architectural Drafting, Jean Paul won gold in Cosmetology, Connor Robertson won silver in Automotive Maintenance and Light Repair, and Alton King won bronze in Carpentry. Everyone did their best and we are proud of each of you!!

BMS students had an amazing day at Black Mountain last Thursday. 11 brand new skiers from BMS put themselves in the learning zone and gave it a try. Many thanks to all that made this trip possible.

Culinary arts students have been practicing their skills for the upcoming wedding cake competition at this week's SkillsUSA competition in Bangor.

BMS wrapped up the month of February with our theme around respect with a RESPECT Rally. Our BMS rock band rocked the stage and grade levels all had a blast in different challenges and activities versus homerooms and grade level houses.

Third graders at Phippsburg Elementary learned about heart health and had fun jumping rope in PE this week.

ELO and CTE students recently attended the BIW Training Academy. This was a terrific experience for our students! Students spent time in the Welding Training Facility and the Virtual Reality Center, where they were able to virtually paint a ship, operate a crane and forklift, perform some welding and virtually be on a worksite.

Awards assemblies, GIANT snow banks, and Valentines are something to smile about at PES.

We had a happy but tired crew of students after our ski trip to Black Mountain. It was so awesome to watch them challenge themselves and push through some tough learning moments. 12 out of the 14 of them had never clipped into skis before and it is easier said than done. By the end of the day, they were begging to keep going and not load up the van.

Congratulations to Rory Leeman who just recently became the Sagadahoc County Spelling Bee Champ!
