WES students visit Ecology School

Recently, the fourth grade class at Wiscasset Elementary School embarked on an unforgettable three-day, two-night educational adventure at The Ecology School in Saco. The experience provided students with hands-on opportunities to explore Maine's natural environment while building independence, curiosity and a deeper appreciation for the world around them.

From the moment they arrived, students eagerly settled into dormitory-style accommodations, enjoyed locally sourced meals and participated in engaging activities designed to teach them about the ecology of our state. Through skits, lessons, games and guided hikes, students learned about topics including nighttime adaptations, glaciers and watersheds.
