Assembly at Nokomis recognizes students and holds class competitions
Summary
The transcript records a school assembly at Nokomis High School with student awards (students of the quarter, Warrior and Fit awards), Latin and art recognitions, science fair winners, and class competitions including tug-of-war and a lip sync battle; not civic business.
Nokomis High School held a student assembly featuring awards, academic recognitions and class competitions. School leaders and teachers announced nominees and winners for Students of the Quarter across grades, with Maeve Rush named freshman student of the quarter and Jerry General named senior student of the quarter. Teachers read nominations highlighting academic achievement, leadership and character.
The program included Warrior of the Quarter and Fit Like a Warrior awards for each grade. Jackson Robichaud was recognized as a freshman Warrior of the Quarter; Owen Russell and Lauren Russell were among other grade-level winners. Teachers praised recipients for work ethic, school spirit and contributions to the community. Latin program achievements were highlighted: the advanced Latin team placed second in a state meet and multiple students earned national Latin exam distinctions. Art awards and Portland Seadogs Most Improved Student nominations were announced, with logistics for a May 24 recognition at a Seadogs game explained.
Science Fair winners from 2026 were named: Dee Wintel won 9th/10th grade research first place for a project on ovarian cysts and quality-of-life measures; Mizuki Pace won 11th/12th experimental first place for methods to dissolve simulated calcium-based kidney stones. The assembly then transitioned to student activities run by class presidents, including tug-of-war rounds, a loudness contest with measured decibel results (seniors recorded 120.3 dB as the loudest), a Dress to Impress walk, and a lip sync battle (juniors won the lip sync). Final point tallies awarded COW 2026 to the sophomores with 3,459 points; Lexi Duplessis, the class of 2028 president, was invited to collect the cape.
The event was celebratory and logistical: multiple teachers and the principal officiated announcements, students were asked to gather for group photos after awards, and class presidents managed competitions and transitions. Because this transcript documents a school assembly and student activities rather than governmental or civic proceedings, it is not eligible for civic meeting article coverage.
