Students ages fifth grade through seniors participated, performing solos, duets, trios and small group pieces. Mrs. Rachael Anderson of Woonsocket served as a judge for the event.

On Thursday, Feb. 29, Toby Kidd, a self-proclaimed “Bookaneer” came to Woonsocket Elementary to promote the importance of reading and the benefits of being a good reader. He introduced himself and admitted that he has done the research and is a direct descendant of the pirate, Captain Kidd. Then, he got himself into costume and became a pirate who invited kids to join him in some magic tricks and live stories. All kids in grades Pre-K through six were in attendance and were engaged for the entire hour. This assembly was paid for by the Woonsocket Elementary Parent Club and was perfectly timed with the celebration of Read Across America over the weekend and this week.

For his senior project requirement, Carter Hitchcock put on a science fair for eighth through 11th grade Sanborn Central students on Feb. 23 from 9:30-10:30 a.m. Visitors were given tickets, and were instructed to vote for their favorite project after they had visited all of the stations. Projects included how runoff impacts farming, how different types of therapy help people, testing the effectiveness of different hair heat protectants, and how a photoelectric sensor will help detect combine fires. 

Hitchcock chose to put on a science fair for his senior project because he is pursuing a career as a science teacher. He has been preparing for several months by preparing the project guidelines, coordinating with students and teachers, and gathering materials such as the presentation boards. He stated the most challenging part of the project was making sure the students were on track with the timeline he provided for them and ultimately making sure the projects got done on time. He does feel like the project was a success as the presenters seemed to enjoy their projects and there were lots of visitors who came and found the projects interesting.
