We hope that you will come and support our WHS Drama Club on all their hard work presenting "The Iliad, The Odyssey, and All of Greek Mythology in 99 Minutes or Less" by Jay Hopkins and John Hunter, produced with permission through Samuel French, a division of Concord Theatricals. The show runs approximately 99 minutes, and is full of laughs and some great storytelling. It does feature some adult language and themes. Tickets are available at the door for our three performances, or online. Tickets are $8 for adults and $5 for students. There will not be a school day performance of this show, so we hope to see you at one of our after school shows, Nov 20 at 7pm, Nov 21 at 2pm, or Nov 22 at 2pm. If you have any questions, please reach out to Mr. Gay at dgay@winthropschools.org

Our Core Values in Action at Winthrop Grade School! 🚌
Third graders in Mrs. Slocum's class did a fantastic job working together during a recent guidance lesson! Students demonstrated our school’s core Values while discussing how we can all work together to prevent bullying and create a kind, respectful, and inclusive school community. We’re proud of these Ramblers for showing that small actions can make a big difference! 💚 #WPSconnects #WGS

Our third graders got to experience the election process firsthand! Students listened to three read-alouds featuring the most recent Chickadee Award winners, then cast their votes for their favorite book. Along the way, they learned important election vocabulary, created campaign posters, and registered to vote. Mr. Milledge checked in our registered voters and handed out their ballots. And, of course, no election is complete without an “I Voted” sticker!

STEM in action at Winthrop Middle School! 🤖⛳
Students in the WMS STEM Robotics elective have been designing their own mini golf holes and taking on the challenge of programming their Sphero BOLT robots to score a hole-in-one using the Sphero Edu app! Through this hands-on project, students are exploring the engineering design process and block-based coding while putting their creativity, problem-solving, and critical-thinking skills to work. #WPSconnects #WMS

Our fourth graders used Unifix cubes to explore the commutative and associative properties of addition. Students discovered that addends can change order (commutative property) or be grouped in different ways (associative property) while keeping the same sum. Hands-on learning helps make these important math concepts click! 💡 #WPSconnects #WGS

Our grade school students are building their understanding of multiplication through repeated addition! Students practiced making equal groups and connecting repeated addition to multiplication while playing the game “Squares.” 🧮 A fun, hands-on way to strengthen math skills while learning through play! #WPSconnects #WGS
Our grade school students are building their early reading skills by practicing blending sounds to make words! Students used fly swatters to race to be the first to spot and “swat” the word they heard. 📖 #WPSconnects #WGS
🔬💧 Our 8th graders are kicking off science with a States of Matter Lab! Students are investigating the motion of water molecules and exploring how molecular movement helps explain the different states of matter. Hands-on learning, scientific investigation, and plenty of curiosity are making for a great start to the year! #WMS #WPSconnects
🪨🎨 Digging Into the Past in 6th Grade Social Studies! 🎨🪨
Our WMS 6th graders are exploring cave paintings and what archaeologists can learn about the people and cultures who created them. Students first developed their own hypotheses about the meanings behind the artwork and then researched the evidence to discover what archaeologists believe the paintings may have represented.
What a great way to practice historical thinking, curiosity, and using evidence to investigate the past! #WMS #WPSconnects

The Winthrop PAC is excited to bring our first fundraising performance of the year to the Winthrop PAC stage. We welcome local Broadway performer, and former Winthrop High School alumni, Scott Moreau, performing his original one man show, "My Life as the Man in Black." The show details his 20 year career traveling the world and performing as Johnny Cash. Scott recounts tales from the road, personal anecdotes, and gets to play some songs he doesn't typically perform in his other shows, such as Folsom Prison Blues, I Walk The Line, Ring Of Fire, A Boy Named Sue, Strawberry Cake, The Man Comes Around and his epitaph, Hurt. We are also excited to welcome Scott to talk with our high school students the day before the show. This show is a fundraiser for our Light Up the Stage Capital Campaign and we hope you will join us for this special event.
The show will be performed on Friday October 9, 2026 at 7pm at the Winthrop PAC, 211 Rambler Rd, Winthrop, ME 04364. Tickets are $20 each, and can be purchased online ahead of time or at the door. All proceeds will directly support our fundraising efforts to replace the PAC lighting system.
