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. The competition is scheduled to run July 3-10 in Burlington, Vermont. This Bee is an in-person buzzer-based geography quiz competition for individual students throughout the USA and the highest level of the competitions for this year. Way to go, Ben!!!
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.

Pictured here are students in Mr. Swett’s woodworking class finishing up year end projects. Elijah Holbrook works on refinishing a wooden table top. Zach Hansen, Dana Newton, Ethan Smarrella, and Tyler Colby are letting the glue dry on their boat console repair project. Michael Hendrix is putting the finishing touches to a jewelry box he plans to give as a gift. Alex Lehnig and Thomas Allen are re-finishing a livewell cover.
Students in Mr. Dochtermann’s STEM/Metal class worked on several interesting projects throughout the year. Aiden Harris said it took him 15+ hours to refurbish this foot vice that will be put to good use by students for future projects. Ashley Welch has a way to go to finish this cribbage board, but she says she’ll get it done before the end of the year! It took Kadence Presby a couple of months to complete this scrap metal sculpture using all donated materials; silverware, wire, nuts, and bolts. It is currently on display in the courtyard outside the Industrial Arts hallway. Keith Saltsman and Alex Violette repaired a broken 3D printer by swapping out an extruder. Whatever that is! Fortunately they know!
To compliment the beautiful painted mural in the hallway by students in the high school art department, Mr. Dochtermann’s STEM/Metal class added these creative, one-of-a-kind sheet metal fish. The students said they are interested in making their school environment better. Phillip Oreto said this is the first year for this project but that he hoped the project would grow with future classes.
