Check out these cougars in action! In PE, Ms. Murphy and Ms. Fulton have been teaching students about bowling. To celebrate and apply the skills that they learned, cougars are participating in Galactic Bowling and are competing against other classrooms for the amount of strikes and spares that they get!
We will be having an early release today. Students will be dismissed starting at 12:20!
I’d like to get everyone home before the height of the storm today, so we will be closing early. Dismissal at WHS and WMS will be at 11:30am. Dismissal at Canal, Congin, and Saccarappa will be at 12:20pm. There will be no PreK classes today and there will be no after school activities or practices. Be safe in the storm!
Congin Cougars are artists! 16 cougars submitted an art piece for our yearbook cover contest and the whole school voted on their favorite. Congratulations to Aubrey Patterson who submitted this cover and won our contest! This artwork will be the cover for this year’s yearbook.
4th grade cougars are doing a project through Sole Hope to benefit the children of Uganda who are in need of shoes to prevent infection and pain caused by jiggers.
In order to complete this project, they need your help! Students are in need of non-skinny, non-stretch, adult sized jeans. Your jeans will end up becoming shoes! If you have any jeans that you would be willing to donate, please send them to school with your child! They can deliver them to the office.
Thank you for your support in this project. The students are very excited.
We are excited to announce Bikes for Books, thanks to the Saccarappa Mason's Lodge! Students are encouraged to read 100 pages or 10 books. Once they do so, they can fill out a form and turn into the office by April 22nd to be entered to win a bike! We are excited to see all of our Cougars reading for this awesome opportunity.
Congin Cougars are brave! Check out these fourth grade students from Mrs. Pecoraro’s class who have been learning with Mrs. Powers about Sole Hope, an organization committed to fighting foot diseases in East Africa.
These students presented to the Congin PTO in hopes to fund a shoe making project to then donate to Sole Hope. Nice work, fourth graders!
Congin Cougars love robotics! In STEAM, students have been learning about coding and how to make robots move using various inputs. Check out these cougars in action!
Congin Day at Maine Celtics! Come join us on January 13!
Because power has not yet been restored at Saccarappa School, there is NO SCHOOL today at Saccarappa. At all other schools, we will have a 2 hour delayed start. That means that schools will open two hours after their regular opening and buses will pick up students 2 hours later than their usual times. This will give crews time to address road conditions and power outages, and extra time to get to work and school. There are no PK classes. Breakfast will be available when students arrive.
Don't forget that we have a spirit week this week!
Congin Cougars are writers! Check out these students who did research on animals and created their own nonfiction book!
Come help support Westbrook's graduating class this Saturday!

Kindergarten Cougars got to go to the Festival of Trees in Westbrook to see all of the trees that local organizations and business decorated! They even got a surprise visit from Dr. Lancia who read "The Gingerbread Man" to our cougars!
