Our Theatre and Dance Track of the Wicomico Middle Program for the Arts competed in a theater scavenger hunt yesterday where they worked in teams to decipher hints pertaining to theatrical vocabulary and topics, while navigating the crucial pieces that create a performance space. We are blessed to have a theatre space to support our program. The Wicomico Middle Program for the Arts is an engaging and dynamic initiative designed to nurture creativity and self-expression among students. For the 2025-2026 school year, we are excited to offer two tracks within the program for Wicomico Middle enrolled students: Theatre and Dance, and Graphic Arts. The program encourages young artists to explore their talents while developing essential skills like teamwork, critical thinking, and confidence. Through hands-on workshops, collaborative projects, and performances, students are inspired to create and innovate, all while building a supportive community that celebrates diverse artistic voices. Whether they’re designing an interactive media piece, composing original music, or performing on stage, students are empowered to discover and share their unique artistic identities. #Inspire. #Create. #Transform.

Wicomico County Public Schools successfully applied for a partnership with Soles4Souls through its 4EveryKid campaign. This campaign provides brand-new sneakers to students in need. Wicomico Schools received 250 pairs of sneakers and Bombas socks to distribute to identified students, based on available sizes.

At a distribution event held at East Salisbury Elementary this week for, 54 students from throughout Wicomico Schools received a new pair of sneakers for the school year, with able assistance from the team of Community School Coordinators.

The initial outreach was to families of students identified by pupil personnel workers as a family in transition. If there are still shoes and socks available when these students have been served, Wicomico’s Student & Family Services may provide shoes to other students and scholars who are in need.

Today, the Wicomico Middle School Administrative team had their Wicomico County Leadership breakfast with superintendent Dr. Micah Stauffer.
