WMHS homecoming meets Community Service Day
Wiscasset Middle High School’s homecoming the week of Sept. 24 will show school spirit and community pride in an added way. After Monday’s pajama day, Tuesday’s holiday-themed day, Wednesday’s twin day and Thursday’s dress to impress day, Friday, Sept. 28, school spirit day, will start with Community Service Day.
According to an announcement, students will “experience the joy of serving others and will make contributions using ... teamwork throughout ... Wiscasset.” Freshmen will work on the annual Coastal Cleanup at Hermit Island in Phippsburg, where they will collect and make inventory of debris found along the shore. That data will go into state, national and international databases, the announcement continues. Students will examine the data and look for trends. “This will be the 28th year that Wiscasset ninth graders will participate in this effort.”
