Our students enjoyed a very educational trip to the traveling Vietnam Memorial Wall. The Wall is a three-quarter size replica of the Vietnam Veterans Memorial in Washington, D.C. and travels around the country. The names on the wall are listed by day of casualty.

Welcome back students! We hope you had a wonderful summer and that the start of the school year goes smoothly. Let’s make it a great year with hard work and lots of fun! Have a great first week!

There will be an open House August 12th, from 6-7 at both the Elementary and High School.  Come and see your class room and teachers!  Organizations from the town will be in the WDES gym!

We are meeting this Saturday, July 27th around 8 AM!  We are hoping to finish up the painting and install the tetherballs.  We are inviting anyone with a tractor with a post-hole digger to join us to help with the tetherball installation! We hope to see you there!

There will be a playground work day on July 13th at the elementary school! We will start around 8 AM. The hope is to spruce up the playground! We are inviting anyone to come join us. Participants are invited to bring any paint brushes, basic tools (hammer, drill), rags–anything that might help with the clean-up. Please come join us and support Washburn Elementary!

The annual school “Fun Day” for Pre-K-5th grades was recently held under ideal weather conditions.  Students participated in a variety of events, such as the traditional 3 Legged Relay, Egg and Spoon Relay and 50/100 Yard Dash, as well as some new additions like Corn Hole and Race to the Beach.  Other events included, Save the Whale, Chicken Stir Fry, Sponge Relay, Water Balloon Toss, Obstacle Course, Cake Pan Relay, and Face Painting. Steven Boody travelled north to provide the ever popular music.  A BBQ lunch of burgers & hot dogs was provided.

A big thanks goes out to all the volunteers who make the event possible.

On June 5th, Ms. Leach’s American Studies I and II classes traveled to Loring Military Heritage Center for a tour and presentation by Mr. Ray Hildebrand and Mr. Matt Cole. The students enjoyed learning more about Aroostook County’s exciting part in our nation’s history. Thanks for having us again this year!
