Class to host dinner
The Washburn District High School physics class will be holding an Italian Dinner and Silent Auction on Friday, April 4, at the Washburn Elementary School cafeteria. The cost will be $3 for children, $6 for adults or $15 for a family. The fundraiser is to help students attend a physics workshop in Saco that will define physics laws and concepts, while demonstrating through hands on experiences. The students will be meeting with amusement park designers, engineers, and maintenance workers. After each meeting students will experience the laws and forces of physics in action by riding and watching the roller coasters and other rides.
