Of 91 middle schools across Maine, the small but mighty middle schoolers of WMHS racked up 94,735 minutes of outdoor time in the last week of October to come in 3rd place and receive a check for $1,000 for outdoor gear. Thank you Teens to Trails and The First for your encouragement and support! Some of the outdoor activities that students said they participated in were camping, youth hunting days, going to a football game, and, of course, at least 15 minutes of recess every school day. See the article by Phil Di Vece in the Wiscasset Newspaper

Over 1,000 pounds of food going into the Wiscasset community THANKS to our students at WMHS. Mrs. Pooler's enthusiasm and energy keeps our helping efforts going!
