Outdoor English 1 and Outdoor English 2 are currently working on different projects to benefit the students at Katahdin Schools. A lot of research and planning went into these projects, as well as learning to communicate and collaborate on the projects they are doing. Outdoor English 2 is putting together a GaGa Pit for Middle School to use during their recess time. Outdoor English 1 is cleaning up and staining the benches and tables in the outdoor classrooms at KES.

During Science class, students examined and dissected a variety of sunflowers and identified their parts.

Our music teacher secured scholarship funding through KBH music, which allowed our music program to receive a new bass drum mallet, repair of 2 trombones for the 5th graders, 6 new sets of strings, amp cords, and straps for everyone enrolled in guitar class! Way to go, Ms. Hart!

Today (Wednesday, Sept 17th) is an early release day. Students are dismissed at 11:15. There is no After School Program. Please call your school office if you need to change your child's after school plan. (KES : 365-4285, KMHS: 365-4218).

Our 4th graders rolled up their sleeves and experienced farming the way it used to be—harvesting potatoes by hand! Students dug into the soil to uncover the hidden treasures beneath. This hands-on experience connected them to Maine’s agricultural roots and gave them an appreciation for the hard work that goes into putting food on the table.

The Middle School Outdoor Education class tried out the kayaks on the pond. Smiles, laughing, and learning all occurred at the same time.

Thank you to all parents/guardians that returned the "Fluoride Treatment at School" form in the beginning of the year paperwork. Those students with a YES signed consent form will participate in the fall clinic on Sept 23rd. The second part of the fluoride clinic will be held in the spring.

The Class of 2026 participated in the Marshmallow Challenge! Congrats to Olivia, Mackenzie & Jacob for their winning design—so many wildly creative spaghetti structures on display!

Thank you to everyone who attended the Katahdin Schools Family BBQ to make it a success!

Students studied a lesson on "Mystery Science: Do Wild Animals Go To School?" They learned that wild animals learn from each other. What can we teach each other? These students taught each other (and the teacher!) step by step how to draw a Christmas tree and a cat! What a great experience!

In Mrs. DeTour's American Lit class, students are diving into the background of Arthur Miller’s historical drama,The Crucible. In small groups, they unpacked the historical, cultural, and personal influences that shaped the play, focusing on life in Salem during the witch trials. By examining the fear, suspicion, and social pressures of the time, students are also making connections to modern situations where hysteria and peer pressure can still influence communities today.

Our 2nd graders are sorting river rocks by their properties as part of the FOSS Science curriculum.
