Old Home Days by Blythe Thompson '22

Video link (this play begins at 0:00:06)

Daisy, Samuel, and Francine were childhood friends growing up in a small town in Maine when everything changed. The play is based on the true story of the flooding of the town of Flagstaff, Maine, all in the name of progress and cheap electricity. This piece tells a personal story of how the townspeople are forced to make decisions that affect their community and personal lives forever. What would you do? Go back in time with this ambitious piece of historical fiction that confronts issues still relevant today.
VOID FM by Claire Robinson '21

Join the crew of USS Improbability as they journey into deep space, collecting important scientific data. There's just one problem: this voyage is endless! Researcher Camille Hayden begins her radio show, Void FM, as a way to combat boredom and build community. Instead, she alienates everyone on board the ship! Enjoy this hilarious play that also reflects deeply and eloquently on loneliness, the wonder of the universe, and our need for each other.
Salt Shakers by Mia Mizner '21
Video link (this play begins at 1:52:34)

Third Thought aspires to 1) create, refine, and sustain a unique set of school based initiatives that invite youth to reflect on their own experiences, learn from the perspectives of others, and take action on issues that matter to them and 2) share models for civic engagement that schools across the country may adopt.

Our current initiatives include:

The Waynflete Summer Institute for Dialogue and Civic Engagement scheduled for the summer of 2020 will help schools navigate what promises to be a tumultuous fall for every American institution in a way that deepens learning, strengthens school culture, and shines a light on a better future.
Click here for more details

An experiment in revitalizing democracy by teaching students from communities across Maine dialogue across difference. Partners include the Maine Heritage Policy Center and a wide range of local high schools.

Interested in keeping up to date with The Can We? Project? Join our email list.

The two-day New England Youth Identity Summit brings together close to 400 students from more than 30 schools across the region to immerse themselves in meaningful conversations about identity, diversity, and community.

The Waynflete Dialogue Project is intended to make dialogue a keystone habit among Upper School students by explicitly teaching them the skills of dialogue and giving students the opportunity to practice. As part of the Dialogue Project, Waynflete invited The Defamation Experience to campus and worked with Narrative 4 to train 27 student facilitators who then led an Upper School-wide story exchange.

A network of schools across the country that provides motivated, upper-level students with a variety of intensive academically challenging courses beyond what would normally be available to them.

Learn about Waynflete's online course, "American Democracy and Civic Engagement."

With the support of a $250,000 matching grant from the Edward E. Ford Foundation, Waynflete has instituted Third Thought Initiatives for Civic Engagement, which is intended to channel the energy and capacity of young people as the antidote to what is currently dividing us as a nation and paralyzing our political processes. It is based on 1) the currently countercultural premise that diversity of thought and experience is a source of wisdom (not a threat) and thus should be valued instead of feared; and 2) the belief that young people can be trusted to lead conversations that bridge the divides on the most pressing issues of our day.

We believe that the future of our democracy depends on young people leading constructive conversations on the most pressing issues of our time. Contributions to Third Thought Initiatives for Civic Engagement make this possible. Thank you considering a gift.

The Upper School performing arts curriculum offers a range of options for students interested in music, dance, and theater. These include formal semester classes, choral and instrumental ensembles, and other electives. In addition, the Department stages three theatrical productions a year representing diverse genres and playwrights. Music and dance ensembles present formal concerts in the winter and spring, and perform informally throughout the year. Individual music students and ensembles audition for district, state, Eastern, and national music festivals. The Department participates in the Maine Principals Association's One Act competitions every other year.

classes

In ancient Greece, the performing arts were a platform for civic debate. The performing arts, or storytelling with word, music, and movement, were seen as a necessary part of a democratic society. Whether it is Shakespeare or The Laramie Project, "We Are the World" (USA for Africa) or protest songs, jazz or hip-hop, stories emerge as artists share their particular truths and serve as catalysts for change. This semester-long experiential class will focus on the power of the performing artist as activist and agent of change. Throughout the semester, students will take on many roles: historians and critics; interpreters of existing monologues, scenes, dances, and songs; and creators of a collaborative, multi-arts performance piece designed to spark action. The class will partner with an organization in the Portland area to give particular focus to the final creative project.

Music Ensembles

Students may enroll in one of the following yearlong ensembles.

Other Performing Arts Electives

Students may also participate in a number of semester-long electives. Offerings vary from year to year based on student interest.

Waynflete's Transportation Department is concerned with safe and convenient transport to and from school, as well as school-sponsored activities. Our main focus is on our school bus service-including routes, extra-curricular, athletics and field trips-but we also help with concerns about parking, traffic flow, public transportation options, and more.

If you have any suggestions, comments, or ideas, contact Transportation Manager Dan Lamarre at dlamarre@waynflete.org.
Bus Transportation Routes
Waynflete bus service is available to and from Kennebunk, Bath, Cape Elizabeth, Freeport, Lewiston/Auburn, and points in between. These include routes on which some available seats may be shared by students from other schools. Bus schedules, rates, and sign-up forms are mailed in August. The school reserves the right to change or modify bus service routes.
2020-2021 Bus rates Bus route schedules Bus registration NOTE:
In order to protect the health and safety of all students on Waynflete buses, the following protocols will be in place this year:

Students must complete the required daily health screening before boarding a bus

Students will sanitize hands upon boarding and de-boarding the bus

One student will sit in each seat, unless they are from the same family

Students will sit in a staggered manner (e.g., if one student is in the window seat, in the next row the student will be in the aisle seat)

There will be a maximum of 24-26 students on each bus

Masks will be mandatory at all times

Whenever possible, we will load forward from the last row of the bus and unload backwards from the first row of the bus to minimize contact.

Bus windows will opened whenever possible.
