Bath Tech is in full swing with its sixth Summer Bridge season with 45 students in attendance! Each day, students embark on a new journey to learn a little about a different trade each day. During the week, students have the opportunity to try out Culinary Arts, Cosmetology, Graphic Design, Automotive, Welding, Electrical, and Carpentry. Students from all four sending schools have joined us this year, and we are very grateful for the generous donation of transportation from AOS 93 and AOS 98. Students go home with tire gauges, pizzas, t-shirts, and saw horses!

The end of the school year means FIELD DAY!
Woolwich Central School 7th and 8th graders have spent the year learning about the history of boat building and used traditional woodworking techniques to build their own stools, and tool boxes. The group worked collaboratively to build 2 full-sized dories that they launched in Nequasset at the boat launch in Woolwich today.
BMS Science Teacher, Monica Wright, has worked with a professional film crew to film a project that she does with her students. This project seeks to understand how middle school students’ participation in scientific modeling informs their classroom-based citizen science investigations, and how enhancing teachers’ learning about modeling changes both the opportunities students have to participate in scientific modeling and their understanding of change within ecosystems. The film is part of a national science foundation funded project with The Gulf of Maine Institute, Bowdoin College, and Vanderbilt University.
