It's wonderful to see Ashwood alumna, Adella Brainerd, recognized for her dedication to her sport and her participation in the local community. "I hope that I'm remembered as less of a swimmer and just more of a person and a good teammate," she shared.

Currently a senior at Camden Hills, Adella plans to pursue a pre-med track at Bates in the fall. Congratulations, Adella! 🌿

Bravo to Ashwood’s Class 7–8 for their wonderful outdoor performance of Shakespeare’s As You Like It. Under the pines, the students brought the Forest of Arden to life with humor, heart, mistaken identities, and plenty of theatrical flair.

Congratulations to the cast and all who helped make this performance possible!

Shakespeare Under the Pines

Join Ashwood’s Class 7–8 this week for William Shakespeare’s "As You Like It," performed outdoors among the pines.

Mayhem reigns in the Forest of Arden as lovers find, lose, and find one another again. Will Orlando ever learn to write poetry? Will Rosalind’s disguise fool anyone? Will Touchstone the clown find true love? Will Jaques ever cheer up?

Come find out as passions flare, words weave magic, and good overcomes evil once more.

Performances:
Thursday, May 21 at 9:15 a.m.
Friday, May 22 at 4:00 p.m.

This is an outdoor performance. Please bring a sun hat, sunscreen, and insect repellent. We hope to see you there!

Thanks to for the write-up on our 4th grade student, Lowell, whose poster won the Secretary of State Poster and Essay Contest for his age group.

Lowell's work, "titled 'Oh, Pine Tree State’ depicted the history of economic development in Maine, from the lumber industry to the emergence of the rail system used to connect Maine’s rugged, rural terrain and its timber and other industries to Boston, establishing a vital trade link."

AUGUSTA, MAINE – There were more than 300 entries in the Secretary of State Poster and Essay Contests this year.
