Our 3rd and 5th graders had the opportunity to go fishing today as part of the Hooked on Fishing program! We saw some awesome teamwork from our students as those who are experienced cheered on and helped classmates with less experience. Thank you to our local game wardens for assisting students and sharing their passion for outdoor adventures.

We are excited to offer your child the opportunity to participate in the College Immersion Experience designed for 8th graders at Thomas College located in Waterville, Maine. This opportunity is designed to provide students with a firsthand experience of college life, which has been shown to make college seem more attainable. Students will have the opportunity to attend specially designed activities and gain valuable "college knowledge" that can help shape their future academic aspirations.
Please help support our school and community by joining us tonight in the KES cafeteria for the budget town referendum vote. Your participation and support make a difference for our students and schools. We hope to see you there!

Our 3rd, 4th, and 5th grade students had an incredible opportunity to explore the outdoors during a kayaking field trip on the Penobscot River with the Butler Foundation! Students learned about water safety, teamwork, and the natural beauty of our region while enjoying a fun and memorable adventure on the river. Thank you to the Butler Foundation for providing this amazing experience and helping our students build confidence, curiosity, and a love for the outdoors!

Grade three has been studying the structures of crayfish. We’ve been very observant and discovered their appearance, behaviors and interactions impact how they survive.
