Two students, Kylee and Samantha, along with their Criminal Justice teacher, Officer Kopp were on WLOB's radio station this morning to promote their "Giving Tree(s)" community service project. The students have set up several trees in neighboring communities to help support many children/ local families in need of basic toiletries, age-sized clothing, winter gear, and toys. If you or someone you know would like to donate to this cause, please stop by WRVC with unwrapped items. We also accept gift cards and will shop for you. :) Our deepest appreciation to Mr. Ray Richardson for celebrating and promoting this service-learning opportunity, as well as for connecting our students with the many law enforcement guests he hosted this morning.
Our Building Trades students have been pre-building walls specific to the ranch-style house they will be building in Westbrook over the coming months! Please stay tuned for more updates on this amazing project sponsored by the Westbrook- Gorham Rotary.
Yesterday, our Culinary Arts students made the Rotarians many frighteningly scrumptious treats for the annual Rotary Halloween Luncheon! The "roasted cauliflower brains" and the "zombie fingers" were nothing to be afraid of... they were yummy! For the grand finale, the pumpkin-shaped cake oozed out candy corn and mini pumpkins! Spooktacular!!!
From Superintendent Dr. Peter Lancia:
Schools in Westbrook will be CLOSED again today, Friday, October 27. This is out of an abundance of caution as law enforcement agencies continue to investigate and search for the person responsible for the tragedy in Lewiston. A number of our staff also live in the Lewiston area and continue to be sheltered in place. Please keep everyone impacted by this tragedy in your thoughts and prayers. I will be in touch over the weekend as we all hope to return to school on Monday. Take care and be strong.
