WASHBURN NEWS
The Washburn Destination Imagination teams went to the University of Maine at Orono to compete in the 2016 state competitions on Saturday, April 9, 2016 with two of the high school teams taking home first-place trophies in their challenge categories.
They will be working hard to raise the funds needed to travel to Knoxville, Tenn., to compete in the 2016 Global Competition, where they will be interacting and competing with students from all over the world.
This is a great experience for these students and a chance for them to represent their town, community and state. To raise money for this trip the teams are available to do yard work for donations. Contact Tracy Reed to hire a helper at treed@msad45.net.
