Great things are happening at WCS!

On Tuesday, our second-graders put on a beautiful concert of songs on the theme of birds and flight. Students had the opportunity to play a sample of instruments including, chimes, glockenspiel, and a variety of drums. We are so proud of our students- We appreciate the bravery and hard work that went into making this concert a success!

In recognition of our students following expectations, displaying excellent behavior and acts of kindness, and earning over 500 "Woolwich Way" tickets, we celebrated our Wildcats with Royalty Day this Friday. Students and staff dressed in their finest and walked the red carpet to class. They were also treated to a royal lunch including fresh flower centerpieces, classical music and lemon water (served by Queen Dimbleby!)

Between April 14th and May 30th, students in grades 3-8 will take Maine Education Assessments in Literacy and Math. In addition to Literacy and Math, 5th and 8th graders will also take the Science Assessment between May 12th and May 23rd.

You can help your child by making sure they get a good night’s sleep, arrive at school on time, and eat a healthy breakfast at home or school.
