Thank you to our friends at The Locker Project who provide free fresh food for students in all our schools to bring home to share with their families.

The Cosmetology Tech II students had their first experience using lightening product to foil mannequin hair! The process of lightening and lifting hair color is a chemical process; therefore, our students have had to learn about the chemistry involved in this method along with many other important scientific/health know-hows to ensure their "client" receives the end product they expect. Way to go, Cosmo Tech II students!
Today is Thursday, and it is our practice to send out notices in electronic Thursday Folders every week. This has always saved on paper, reduced the clutter inside backpacks, and helped ensure that notices made it home. Thursday Folders can now be found on the school department and school websites. Just click on the button and you will be linked to a folder with flyers and other information. Be sure to check the website every Thursday afternoon for updated information.
Flags representing our students’ countries of origin have been installed at WMS in the main lobby.
Tech I Criminal Justice joined the Tech I Medical Occupations students to assemble 1,000 goodie bags to raise money for the Barbara Bush Children's Hospital! These bags will be sent to Spirit Halloween where they will be sold. 100% of the proceeds go towards helping Maine's children affected by illness. Medical Occupations has been helping with this effort for the last 5 years and hopes to continue supporting this beautiful cause for many more.
Lt. Brooks and the Firefighting WRVC students were on their way to the Westbrook Fire Station to refill their compressed air breathing apparatus. Thank you Westbrook Fire Station for supporting our future firefighters! :)
