Katahdin Schools

Now is the time to sign up for the After School Program at Katahdin Elementary School. We invite students in grades 2-5 to come join the fun!

The class of 2027 kicked off their final year at Katahdin yesterday by enjoying the sunrise together!

Parents and Families: Please Take a Moment to Review Our Standard Response Protocol. The safety and well-being of our students and staff is always our top priority. We encourage all families to take a few minutes to review our Standard Response Protocol, which outlines the procedures we will use during a variety of school safety situations.

Throughout the school year, our students and staff will participate in practice drills to become familiar with these procedures. Thank you for partnering with us to help keep our school community safe, prepared, and ready.

Teddy Bear Picnic, post 2

KES Kindergarten Jump Start celebrated the end of our time together with a Teddy Bear Picnic! We had snacks, hula hoops, bubbles, played leap frog, played with our favorite stuffed animals, and enjoyed being in our school apple orchard!

Miss Birmingham visited KES Kindergarten Jump Start and students presented her with their book written for her, "The Wedding Cake." We celebrated her upcoming wedding day with our version of the traditional rice throwing!

KES Kindergarten Jump Start students read "Jake Baked the Cake," a story about the preparations that go into planning a wedding all while "Jake baked the cake!" Their kindergarten teacher will be Michelle Birmingham who is getting married this summer and will be Mrs. Ellis when they return to school. We took our inspiration from "Jake Baked the Cake" and wrote, illustrated, and "published" our own version of this story honoring Miss Birmingham! The students have been learning about the parts of a book and the works of authors and illustrators. In their version, "The Wedding Cake," the students were the authors and illustrators and were very proud to publish their very own book! Enjoy reading! Post 1 of 2

Come join our amazing athletics teams!!

At Summer Academy we had the opportunity to ride bikes on the awesome trails at Peavey Brook Outdoor Center. We also visited the Patten Lumberman's Museum where we learned about the history of logging and we made our very own paper! We also enjoyed the Storybook Walk at the museum. Thank-you, community organizations for your support!

KES Kindergarten Jump Start students read "Miss Rumphius" by Barbara Cooney. They learned that we can all "do something to make the world more beautiful" like Miss Rumphius did by planting Lupine seeds all over her town. The students removed lupine seeds from the pods and scattered them in a special spot hoping to make our world more beautiful in a few years!
