Kennedy Sprague and Matthew Chapman, students at Wiscasset Middle School, were recently honored Middle Level Scholar Leaders at a banquet on May 14 at the Augusta Civic Center, Augusta. The students were presented with an award whose criteria included demonstrating academic initiative and scholarship, providing service to classmates and school, exemplifying positive attitudes and demonstrating leadership in the classroom and social activities. 

Almost 300 students, educators and parents attended this banquet to celebrate the achievements of the middle level students who are representative of the many fine young adolescents in all middle level schools in the state of Maine. 

Sixty-three students from 32 schools were honored at the 16th annual Middle Level Scholar Leader Awards Banquet. The event was organized by the Maine Association for Middle Level Education (MAMLE) and the New England League of Middle Schools (NELMS) with a supporting sponsorship from Lifetouch National School Studios.
