Congratulations to the Outliers Robotics team for an impressive showing in the New England Championships, where they faced off against the region’s 96 top teams. The Outliers got off to a rocky start on the first day as their robot was plagued with problems. The team pulled together and systematically worked through each problem—by the end of the second day, the team’s entry was statistically one of the top robots in the world!
On the third day, the Outliers and their alliance sailed through the playoffs, winning every match until the finals. While they easily won the first match of the finals, they unfortunately lost the next two by narrow margins. In addition to coming in second place, the Outliers also won the Autonomous Award for their vision system, controls, and one-of-a-kind shifting gearboxes.
They’ll head off to the World Championships in Houston over April Break. Best of luck, Outliers—we’re rooting for you!

Congratulations are in order! Waynflete continued its reign as Maine State Science Olympiad champions in a close 23-event competition at the University of Maine this past weekend. The team beat Falmouth by a mere three points, illustrating just how important it is to perform at a high level in every event (and how well our competitors responded to the pressure!). Special shout-out to Rowena Schenck for all her hard work in her first year of coaching.

A stormy end to the week didn`t deter more than 300 students and educators from attending Waynflete’s eighth annual New England Youth Identity Summit on Saturday! 31 student-run workshops were on offer, on topics ranging from climate justice and women in medicine to gun safety reform and the changing face of high school sports. Educators gathered for their own workshop on how to bridge divides when different perspectives enter the classroom.
Keynote speaker Weatherspoon demonstrated their use of poetry to explore relationships, connection, and understanding, while featured performing artist Veeva Banga had everyone on their feet learning Afrobeat at the close of the day. “I loved getting to meet kids my age, at similar stages in life, to share our experiences together,” said one attendee. “I realized that so much of what I ponder on is very much relatable to others. I have learned that I am never alone.”
Thank you to Valo for playing an essential role in making the Summit a success, and to Educate Maine and M&T Bank for their support. We look forward to seeing everyone next year!

National Book Award winner Neal Shusterman joined our Middle and Upper School students earlier this week for a special presentation. Shusterman is the author of many bestselling novels, including Scythe, Challenger Deep, Unwind, and Dry. In his newest book, Courage To Dream: Tales of Hope in the Holocaust, Shusterman teamed up with illustrator Andrés Vera Martínez to weave an uplifting, multifaceted tale that combines Jewish folklore, cultural history, and magical realism. Our students relished the opportunity to connect with and learn from such a well-known author—and have their books signed!

Congratulations to the Upper School Math Team for earning second place in the Class D division of the Maine State Math Meet yesterday. Each question in the meet was worth three or more points—the team missed out on the championship by a mere two points! Great effort by all. With the entire team made up of students in grades 9–11, we’ll be even more competitive in 2025!
