The 100th day of school is a special day in the school year and celebrated in many classrooms! Here is Mrs. Weissman's 2nd grade participating in activities to highlight the special occasion!
Some of our 8th grade students experienced a day in the life of a John Bapst student today. They heard from all of their academic departments, learned about life after the school day, and saw the facilities. 8th graders will continue to learn about the opportunities available to them for high schools as high school transition time continues.
We are continuing to take nominations for staff of the month! We will be celebrating 4 more staff at the end of February! Nominate any staff member here!

Our January students of the month were celebrated with an assembly full of fun! Our cheerleaders were also celebrated and got to share their shiny gold trophy! We presented our first staff or the month awards to Ms. Romero, Mrs. Reinzo, Ms. Mosley, and Mr. Cushman! We had a lot to be proud of this month! Keep up the great work Wildcats!
Students were very excited to see the staff that "won" the pie a teacher raffle to support the Warren Kidder Scholarship! At our last assembly they watched as Mrs. Young, Mrs. Mailman, and Ms. Romero were pied by 4 lucky students! It was a lot of fun and raised money for a deserving student in memory of a very special teacher.
Here is a local opportunity for some baseball!
Due to the timing and severity of tomorrow afternoon's storm, we will have an 11:30 release. Lunch will still be served. All afternoon activities are cancelled.
4th graders had a visit from Versant Power today to learn about power line and electrical safety. They got to see a model of what happens when power lines are touched and what happens if you touch something that is touching a power line. They really enjoyed the demo and having their electricity questions answered. If you have a 4th grader at home, be prepared to be asked some safety questions! Your student was challenged to share what they learned at home with their families.
The 8th graders are learning about their high school choices for next year. On February 4th, they visited Orono High School. They met Orono students, got a tour of the building, and learned about the academics and co-curricular activities available at OHS. They also played some games and had a dance-off with the Red Riot mascot. It was a fun day and students learned about one of their high school options.
Congratulations to the girls basketball team on ending their regular season with a win on Monday! They will enter Saturday's tournament at Hampden Academy in 7th place and will play #6 Caravel at 8 a.m. Please come out and support the Lady Wildcats!!!! There is an admission fee for tournament games.
Members from the OTHS JROTC visited our 5th grade students today!! They talked about the history and symbolism of our flag and also taught our students the proper way to fold, raise and lower the flag. Thank you so much for coming into our school! Our students learned a lot!
Sixth graders have been learning about freshwater and how water gets filtered through layers underground. They recently created their own water filters and tested how well they worked.
There will be a 2 hour delay today, Monday, February 3rd.
If you have a student in grade 5, 6, 7 or 8 be sure and ask to see their progress report. These were sent home with students yesterday!
Congratulations to the cheerleaders on their 2nd place finish at the Doughty Invitational tonight. Way to go ladies!
There will be no Pre-K today, Thursday, January 30th.
Basketball update: Congratulations to the girl's basketball team on their overtime win against Glenburn! Paisley M was the top scorer with 18 points! The final score was 33-26!
Pre-K has been working hard on learning about communities (ours especially). We have talked about what it means to be in a community and things you would see in a community and why they are so important. We have built our own little community with houses and business. Each student made their own houses using shapes and decorations and they decided what buildings were important to our community. We hope you enjoy!
Kindergarten is learning about matter! They made ice-cream/soda floats to observe solid, liquid and gas.
