Wiscasset Elementary School students arrived one recent morning with all manner of different heads of hair than their usual look. There were pipe cleaners, hair gel, spotted tops and spikey rows. Students were celebrating reaching their goal of earning pom poms for being Safe, Responsible, and Respectful with a Crazy Hair Day.

Students at WES earn pom poms for times they follow the school expectations of being Safe, Responsible and Respectful. Then they place the pom poms in a large jug. Once the pom poms reach a certain level, the entire school celebrates together.

Students have generated lots of fun celebration ideas for the year including a door decorating contest, a winter carnival, and a glow stick dance party, to name a few. Everyone at WES looks forward to a Safe, Responsible, and Respectful learning year ahead with some added fun!
