Great things are happening at WCS!

On Tuesday our 2nd and 4th grade students put on their spring concert performing American Folk songs. We were also treated to the recorder chorus playing together as a group! We are so proud of all of your hard work in music class, and were delighted to see you in your performance!

This Thursday we held our STEAM Night & Spring Art Show. This event highlights the applications of Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts & Math, and offers students a chance to experience these disciplines in an interactive and fun way with their families. Families came out and had a blast coding robots, making paper airplanes, slime, and marshmallow structures (among MANY other activities.) The evening culminated with several artistic and scientific prizes being raffled off. Student artwork will be on display through the end of May.

The PTA is hosting our Annual Spring Clean Up Day TOMORROW from 9-12! This is a family-friendly way to spend some time outdoors, meet some Woolwich families, and get WCS ready for spring! Please bring gardening gloves, rakes and shovels if you have them- we will have extras to share, as well as snacks!

We will be hosting our monthly meeting on 5/8 at 6 PM. We will be finishing up some end of the year projects, as well as beginning to plan a fun summer project! If you would like to help, or just hear more about what the PTA does at WCS, we would love to have you join us

• Woolwich students in grades 3-8 will take their spring MEAs known as “Maine Through Year Assessment” between 5/2 - 5/31 in the areas of Mathematics and Literacy.

  
  

  For more information, please see the notice for parents from the Maine Department of Education about the Maine Through Year Assessment. Notice for Parents: Maine's New Through Year Assessment

  
  

  Additionally, students in 5th and 8th grades will participate in the Maine Science Assessment between 5/13 - 5/24.

  It is always helpful for students to have a good sleep, healthy breakfast, and punctual arrival to school everyday but it is especially helpful on assessment days!

  Please reach out to your child’s teacher or the main office if you have any questions.
