🤗🐼🥳 Our Competitive Destination Imagination (DI) Team competed at UMBC for the DI Maryland State Tournament this Saturday! We are so proud of our DI Competitive Team Members: Weston Arnie, Solomon Etteyit, Makenzie Morris, Aranza "Gigi" Porras-Arroyo & Logan Simshauser! We thank Mrs. McDonough who has served as a Facilitator and Appraiser for DI and our Team Managers of Mrs. & Mr. Arnie for their support and dedication to our team throughout this very successful DI season! Through this season, our team won 1st place at the Old Bay Regionals and earned the opportunity to compete as the only team from Wicomico County Public Schools at UMBC today. We are so proud of their hard work and accomplishments!

Important reminder: Monday, March 16 is now a school day with 3-hour early dismissal. This makes up the first of three days missed due to winter weather conditions. (The other two makeup days, also with 3-hour early dismissal, are on April 2 -- with April 1 now a full school day -- and June 12. ) March 16 is no longer a staff professional day, as shown on the original approved calendar..
