On Friday, May 9th, Warsaw Middle School and Vickery Fourth Graders welcomed Maine author Matt Tavares! The students heard Mr. Tavares speak about his research, the writing process, and the inspiration behind his graphic novel, *Hoops. Hoops* was the Maine Student Book Award recipient for 2024-2025. Staff and students thoroughly enjoyed this wonderful opportunity!
The art room needs your help! We are seeking recyclable material donations that can be repurposed and reinvented into a variety of sculptures and projects. Currently we are on a mission to acquire *newspaper and cardboard*. Some other materials which we would be on the lookout for may be things like old t-shirts, shoe boxes, yogurt containers, and paper towel tubes. Your donations of recyclables will be greatly appreciated by all of our students. Also, please only share recyclables that have been cleaned or rinsed.
A collection box for the donations will be located in the main lobby in front of the office. Thank you for your help!

Maine-Health_Guidance_School_Handout-2023-24.pdfThe grades 7 and 8 JMG classes once again participated in Maine Bio Science Day. This year they were studying genetic traits and got to try PTC paper to see if they could taste PTC, a chemical found in broccoli, Brussels sprouts and cabbage. Some people can taste it and some cannot, depending on an individual’s genetic make up! Students then used Google Sheets to graph the class results of our genetic survey.
Grade 7 JMG students have the opportunity to work with Grade 4 students at Vickery over the course of the year. This program helps transition the grade 4 students to Warsaw for grade 5.
