Great things are happening at WCS!

Ms. Gibbs' class traveled to Triple J Therapy Horse Farm in Bowdoin to participate in "Deck the Stalls," a competition for best decorated horse stall. The class created seasonal stall decorations for Izzy the horse. They went with a gingerbread theme and built a 5 foot tall gingerbread man and lolly pops out of cardboard. The students used lights and garland to complete the look. Ms. Gibbs' class has been visiting the farm this year to learn how to ride and care for the therapy horses there.

This week we received a generous donation of brand new, youth-sized winter coats from the Knights of Columbus Council #249, located at St. Mary's Church in Bath. We are grateful for this gift, and for the reminder of how much the Midcoast community cares about our young people! These coats will be put to good use!

Mrs. Keefe's class has filled The "Warm and Fuzzy" Jar! This classroom reward system allows students to collectively celebrate each other's acts of kindness and accomplishments. Every time the jar is filled, the class gets to choose a way to celebrate as a group. This time they opted to make blanket forts to use during their independent reading time. Well done, third grade!

WCS Basketball is back and the stands were full Wednesday night as WCS faced off against Wiscasset. The girls came up short 33-25, but played a strong game. The boys won their game, 46-39. We are proud of our students and the way this season has started!

• Now that it's getting colder, please remember to send in your student with appropriate outdoor clothing. We will be outside almost everyday for movement breaks and recess, and we want everyone to be safe and comfortable. We have a great selection of beautiful hand-made hats and mittens that are available to students for free (courtesy of the Witty Knitters of Bath.) Let your teacher know if your student could use something new to keep them warm!

• Join us December 17th at 6pm for the WCS Winter Tree Lighting event, hosted by the PTA! We will share cocoa, cookies, pizza, and some carols as we usher in the holiday season!
