Just received official word from Maine Department of Education that the reports of school violence this morning are believed to a hoax.
Good morning,
We are aware of several regional threats to area schools. I was in communication with the Westbrook Police Department and area schools immediately. There were no reports or threats to any of the schools in Westbrook. As a precaution, Westbrook Police provided additional officers at all of our schools and staff ensured that all exterior doors were locked and attended. If information changes or a different response is necessary, we will be in touch.
Take care, and be strong!
Peter Lancia, Superintendent of Schools

MORE AMAZING THINGS HAPPENING AT WRVC!!!
Our Fire Fighting students taught our Early Childhood Education Occupations' You 'n Me nursery school students (AKA our Littles) about fire fighting gear, the fire truck, and the program's ambulance.. The Fire Fighting students also modeled how to "Stop, Drop, and Roll"!
The Culinary Arts program had the pleasure of meeting with two University of Maine chefs who received a grant to educate CTE students about the benefits of using locally sourced ingredients when preparing dishes that may require dietary restrictions. The students were shown a variety of locally sourced ingredients, then received a dietary restriction such as pescatarian, dairy-free, gluten-free to then create a meal of the student's choice. The students did a spectacular job and taste-tested each other's creations. We are grateful that our students had this rich learning opportunity! Thank you to all who helped make this experience so special!
SO MANY WONDERFUL THINGS HAPPENING AT WRVC!!!
Our Criminal Justice Tech I & Tech II students experienced an all encompassing guided tour of the Maine Criminal Justice Academy.

A huge thank you to the Criminal Justice Academy, Officer Kopp, and Mrs. O'Toole for providing this exceptional learning experience! :)

CONGRATULATIONS to the WHS Blue Blazes Marching Band and Color Guard - a Gold Medal in the State Finals and Second Place in New England! BRAVO!
From our Director of Bands: "We are proud to announce results of the championship performances of the year for the 60 students of the Marching Band and Color Guard! Saturday evening in the Maine Finals Westbrook earned a Gold Medal with a score of 4.93 (out of 5.0 possible).
On Sunday they performed at the New England Championships in Reading,MA and scores a 94.8-earning 2nd place!
Thanks for the support throughout the fall - we are all a bit tired but was a nice ending to a season where they worked really hard to achieve at a high level as a team. We are very proud of their efforts!" Kyle Smith, Director of Bands
On behalf of the Marching Band and Color Guard, I want to thank all of who came out to see the Championship Preview last night on Olmstead Field.
Over this season, the show has evolved to a point of complete symbiosis. The synchrony, the musicianship and dance, the accuracy, and the "flow" and the elegance of movement make it difficult for the audience to see where the various elements of Marching Band and Color Guard begin or end. The drill delivers moments throughout that are truly breathtaking.
What an exceptional and hardworking group of performers!!!
If you want to witness this work at the Championship level, please come out to Waterhouse Field in Biddeford for the FINALS tomorrow, Saturday,at 5:45 pm (arrive early to find parking and to find a place in the stands).
They will take the show one last time to Reading MA on Sunday for the New England finals!!
If you see Kyle Smith, Joey Hendricks, or any of the Marching Band/Color Guard Students in school today, please give them a well-deserved high 5!! Sincerely, Sue Proulx
