Buckfield High School Seniors Prepare for Graduation Amid Busy Final Week

Buckfield Junior Senior High School is buzzing with activity as the school year wraps up, according to a report from student Noah Smith during the recent RSU 10 meeting. "Busy" is the word he used to describe the last couple of weeks, especially for seniors who are juggling finals, tests, and preparations for graduation.

This week marks the final full week of school for seniors, culminating in graduation on Friday. In a nostalgic touch, seniors will visit the elementary school next week, and they have planned their senior skip day without alerting teachers, a clever move after previous years' slip-ups.

The school community also celebrated a successful Senior Spaghetti Dinner fundraiser, exceeding their financial goals. On the sports front, Buckfield's teams are making headlines. The softball team is dominating, recently defeating Forest Hills 25-0 in just three innings, and they currently lead the Maine Class D South division with an impressive average of over 12 runs per game. Meanwhile, the boys' baseball team is showing improvement, currently placed fifth in their division as they rebuild post-COVID.

Track athletes are also shining, with multiple podium finishes at regionals and two new school records set in pole vaulting and race walking. The music department is busy preparing for a concert and a competition in New Hampshire, adding to the whirlwind of activities as the school year comes to a close. Buckfield Junior Senior High School is certainly ending the year on a high note, with students engaged in a variety of memorable events.
