LINER NOTES FROM LAST WEEK
Before we get to the upcoming events, we want to give a ‘shout out’ about 2 events last week that were absolutely terrific.
On Wednesday, May 31st, students participated in the Annual James Wynne Middle School Track Meet – with bragging rights going, once again, to Harborside Middle School. Congratulations, Harborside Penguins!
On Sunday, June 4th, our middle school students competed in the first-ever GREAT BOAT RACE held right in Milford Harbor. The winner of this flagship event was the West Shore Wildcats watercraft, manned by teachers Glenn Maxwell and Ari Crooks. As you will remember, each vessel was made entirely out of plastic water bottles. A phenomenal turnout was had – and we look forward to next year’s event.
