Both 4th grade classes visited the Maine Maritime Museum this week! This was the first of two field trips put on by the Maritime Museum as part of the "The Sense of Place Program." These sessions focus on fourth-grade Wabanaki studies, and allow students to explore topics in environmental sustainability.

Next week we are starting our annual "Pocket Change for Charity" coin drive! Classrooms will be challenged to bring in coins to donate. Each week the classroom totals will be tallied and at the end of the drive, the classroom with the most collected will earn the coveted "Purple Penny" to display in their classroom. Donated funds are used to support members of the WCS community who are in need.

The WCS PTA is holding a family dance for students in grades K-5 on Friday, February 14th from 6-7:30pm. Come join the fun at this fun and free family event! All students must be accompanied by a responsible adult.

• Maine students must participate in statewide ELA/literacy and mathematics assessments in grades 3-8 and science assessments in grades 5 & 8. The assessments are computer-based and adaptive, meaning the assessment adjusts the difficulty level of the questions based on the student’s responses. State assessments are designed to measure what a student knows and can do in relation to grade-level content. Results for 2023/24 have been sent home with students this week. Please check backpacks for this information if your student is in grade 4-8 this year.

• Next week is our finally push for the Soup-er Bowl Food Drive. Students are encouraged to wear a team jersey next Friday to help celebrate the collection! Here are the standings for this week:

  1st place: the Pre-K - 2 floor with 173 cans

  2nd place: the 3-5 floor with 148 cans

  3rd place: the 6-8 floor with 73 cans
