Students at Fisher-Mitchell School recently completed the Sticking Together Challenge. Students received tokens from staff when behaviors that demonstrated kindness, community, etc. were shown. Each token translated into a color sticker to be added to the mosaic.
Dike-Newell students have been participating in Hour of Code during library classes this week as well as having a special library visit to practice programming Bee-Bots. Hour of Code is a free introduction to computer science through fun activities and videos for learners of all skill levels. Schools around the world join the Hour of Code movement as part of Computer Science Education Week. Students previewed two of the many activities available on the Hour of Code website and learned how they could access this site at school as well as at home. During the special Bee-Bot library visit, Ms. Hardman, with the help of second grade Coding Club members, taught students how to program the Bee-Bots. They then visited various stations for Bee-Bot challenges.

Woolwich Central School had a great week celebrating their "Wildcat Pride!"
Bath Tech Culinary Arts served lunch to students from Woolwich Central School this week. The menu consisted of tacos and chicken tenders. This activity helped Bath Tech students prepare for upcoming Culinary Cafe dates and Woolwich students enjoyed eating out at a "restaurant".
Bath Tech Culinary Arts students are busy preparing for the SkillsUSA competition.
Students at Woolwich Central School had the opportunity to practice their literacy skills using either their "reading glasses" or a "read-o-phone." While the glasses may not have lenses, once students put them on, they are able to focus better on their reading. The read-o-phone (a hollow piece of pipe) allows students to hear their own voice as they read the text aloud.
The beautiful weather has made for some fun outdoor adventures at PES!
A few students from Ms. Candland's Comparative World Governments course had a tour of the polls on Election Day with Bath's City Clerk, Darci Wheeler. They learned the entire process of voting--including how to register on the same day, how ballots are stored and kept secure, and that some groups collect signatures on Election Day for ballot measures they hope to get on the ballot in the future. Students had great questions and saw how easy and quick it is to vote in Bath! Many thanks to Darci Wheeler for taking the time on such a busy day.
The Morse High School Science of Cooking class wrapped up their lesson on fermentation in a delicious way! The students made a yeasted pizza dough and long fermented it for 48 hours using a blend of AP and 00 flour in an attempt to make Neapolitan-style pizza. After shaping and forming the dough, they launched it into a 900-degree oven resulting in student made science-based pizza.
Dike-Newell students enjoyed a wonderful walk to the Chocolate Church and enjoyed the show "Enviroganza" with Jack Golden, (a.k.a. Dr. T with a phD in Garbology). The weather was perfect, student behavior was top notch, and we really enjoyed the show! Great job Dike-Newell School, and thank you Chocolate Church, Matthew Glassman, and Casella for sponsoring our excursion. We can't wait to go see another show!
The Life Skills science class at Morse High School has been working on growing hydroponic lettuce and today was HARVEST day!

Last Thursday, juniors and seniors from the Cosmetology Program visited Spa Tech in Westbrook. They explored the 16,000 sq. ft. facility, watched Aesthetics, Cosmetology, and Barbering students at work and had a Q & A session with the instructors. This visit gave our students a good look at what to expect in post-secondary cosmetology and got them excited about their future careers! Thank you to MELMAC for providing funding for this trip!
