To the Community Members of RSU #89 (Mount Chase, Patten, Stacyville & Sherman),
Last Thursday, we hosted a community picnic to celebrate the remarkable learning that unfolded this summer through our Summer Academy Program. A heartfelt thank you goes out to everyone who made this possible—our dedicated educators, custodial staff, and food service team—who worked tirelessly to create such a meaningful opportunity for our students.
We are also deeply grateful to everyone who attended the picnic and joined us in fostering community connections.
On that same day, the 2025–2026 RSU #89 Budget Referendum took place. We want to extend our thanks to our municipal staff and all community members who participated in budget meetings, asked thoughtful questions, and supported this process. We are thrilled to share that the budget has passed with 58% approval. The results will be officially certified at Tuesday’s School Committee meeting.
Thank you all for your continued collaboration and support. Together, we are nurturing a strong and supportive environment for our students and our community. We look forward with excitement to the upcoming school year.
Sincerely,
Heather Hale,
Business Manager
RSU #89 Administration

Congratulations to the 2025 winners of Katahdin's Art Show. Their artwork will be on display at Katahdin Trust in Patten this summer.
Katahdin's Art Club made Mini Canvas to display this summer at Veterans' Memorial Library in Patten. The canvas relates to the library's summer reading program for kids. The theme this summer is "Level Up." The pieces will be on display all summer amongst the shelves so please visit the library and check out the artwork and a book or two.
