On Thursday, June 2nd, Waterboro Elementary School students from Mrs. Ceglowski's 2nd grade class, and Mr. Tranchemontagne and Mrs. McCann's 5th grade classes had the opportunity to send experiments up with the UofMaine High Altitude Balloon Launch program. Students sent their experiments up inside a payload box and taped to the outside to test their hypotheses as to what would happen with the items they were sending up. The balloon was launched at 8:50 AM near Lincoln, ME and was retrieved a few miles north of Centerville, ME.
Congratulations to MMS GT PACE 6th grader, Ben Stevens, who has participated in multiple competitions this school year for International Academic Competitions (IAC) and is now qualified to move forward and compete in the International Championship Geography Bee.

Representing Massabesic High School and the community, junior students Jack Trask (Newfield), Gabrielle Nichols (Newfield), Jarek Fryzlewicz (Alfred) and Sydney DeSimone (Waterboro) will attend the Maine American Legion's Dirigo State, June 19-24, 2022, on the Thomas College Campus in Waterville, ME. Each student was generously sponsored by a local American Legion Post: the American Legion White-Tibbets Post 55 of Limerick and the American Legion Brown Emmons Post 134 of Alfred. This year, Dirigo State is a combination of the Boys State and Girls State of old, but it is still the wonderful experiential learning, youth leadership program it has always been. Designed after the Maine State government, students from across the state come together to create their own town, county, and state government bodies. In the process, participants learn in a hands-on fashion both the organizational structure and the procedures used in government, developing civic understanding and personal leadership skills.
Reminder there is a fall sports informational meeting tonight at 6pm via ZOOM. The link is below.
