Getting to Work Outdoors!

Our middle and high school students have been learning the proper and safe way to use clippers and loppers while helping with trail maintenance around KMHS. They also worked on clearing the area that Dennis recently bush-hogged, helping prepare the space for future use.

Hands-on learning, teamwork, and taking pride in our school grounds! 💪🌲

Learning to Start a Fire!

Our middle and high school students have been learning the skill of starting a fire using flint and steel! Students first worked independently and then teamed up in groups to build fires that would burn for more than 10 minutes.

A great hands-on lesson in patience, teamwork, problem-solving, and outdoor skills! 🔥👏

English 1 students are kicking off their Lord of the Flies unit with a prereading activity called “Trapped on an Island.”

Students are imagining what it would be like to survive with no adults, no modern resources, and no help. They’re working together to make decisions, solve problems, and figure out what it would take to survive.

After completing their projects, they’ll begin reading Lord of the Flies and see how their ideas compare to the challenges faced in the novel! 📚🌴

On Thursday afternoon, novelist Cathie Pelletier visited Block 4 English classes at KMHS. Ms. Pelletier, who was born and raised in Allagash, talked about her experiences growing up in northern Maine, her journey as a writer, and the inspiration behind her novels. Students had the opportunity to learn more about her writing process and her latest novel, Evangeline’s Journey. It was a wonderful opportunity for students to meet a famous Maine author and hear firsthand about the craft of writing.
