What if... middle school students across Maine could get excited about learning - by helping solve problems and revive their communities? 

​

That's what's happening in Pittsfield's Warsaw Middle School, which has become a pioneer in an approach called Solutionary Learning. Students head out into their communities, find problems they want to solve, work together to shape and design solutions, and then present their findings to the whole town. In Pittsfield, seventh graders are now working to help revive a community institution - the Bijou Theatre - and help revive their local community. The effect: more student engagement and stronger ties between schools and the towns they serve.
