Ms. Bevins has been working hard in Family Consumer Science with her students. She challenged their creativity with her cupcake wars assignment. This year the students went all out, and they really did produce some amazing cupcakes and the displays that went along with their themes. The winner of the popular staff vote was the Tropical Forest. Here are a few of the entries! Congrats to everyone that entered. You all DID an AMAZING job! To next year's students, put them thinking caps on and be ready to produce! Can you win the cupcake wars staff top pick? #Bivens #rocksthecupcakewars! #OUTSTANDING!

Don't miss these graduation pictures!

What can we say BUT we are ALL proud in #JagNation! Why? Because Clinton has been doing very well on the tennis courts. First, receiving the title of #1 in the 1A Regional Championships! He is the CHAMPION in our region, and for this moved on to the State level! At the Tennis 1A State Championships he took 3rd place! Imagine being 3rd in the whole state of Maryland! AMAZING! I am sure Clinton is proud of himself, and I know his coaches are proud, especially Coach Shannon Noble! Everyone in Somerset County should be proud! #JagNation is surely proud of all of his accomplishments! Clinton is a great student all around. He plays multiple sports: Soccer golf, track, and tennis. He is academically amazing as well, with straight A's since Pre-K. He does all of this with the loving support of his mother and father, siblings (a sister and brother), grandparents, aunts and uncles, and abundance of cousins, and many, many friends. We will all be watching as you move on to college soon, and we are sure you have a lot more goals to meet. Washington Academy & High School is lucky to have had you represent us so well! Best wishes Clinton on your future, we see nothing but success coming your way!

ATTENTION SENIORS! Don't miss important dates and deadlines.
