On Monday, December 19, the MPA held its first in person state finals for Esports. Our Smash team and our League of Legends team are state runners up in their respective matches. We want to congratulate Maine Central Institute on their Smash title and Noble High School for their League of Legends state title. We also congratulate Caribou High School in their win over runners up Noble High School.

Destination Imagination (DI), a STEAM-based competition for K-12 students, is looking for volunteers to lead teams of students through dynamic, creative, problem-solving processes. Through the fall and winter, DI teams work together and learn to harness their strengths, with the eventual goal of presenting their unique solution to one of seven challenges at the Maine State Tournament at the Hutchinson Center in Belfast on March 11th (and, if they qualify, Global Finals in May). Our Cape Elizabeth School Department is looking for parents, caregivers, and educators who may be interested in starting a team, and creating new opportunities for social-emotional learning for their kids. Please reach out soon if you are interested! FMI: Please contact Sarah Gagne at sgagne@capelizabethschools.org
