The gift of pottery

Students from middle schools across Maine were recognized for their achievements. The event took place at the Augusta Civic Center with proud parents and educators accompanying their sons and daughters. Winthrop Middle School art teacher, Lisa Gilman created the pottery for centerpieces which students could take home. The Middle Level Scholar Leader dinner has taken place for the last 11 years and is sponsored by the New England League of Middle Schools (NELMS) and Maine Association for Middle Level Educators (MAMLE). The pottery was outstanding and each scholar leader had the chance to take one more. Congratulations to Lisa for a JOB WELL DONE! The pottery was beautiful, the poem that went with them was thoughtful!
