Happening tonight at 5:30 p.m.
Adult Ed. is offering a new group! Please call KMHS office at 365-4218 to sign up.
Hi! I’m Clarissa. I’m a Sherman native and KHS alumni. I’ve been a nurse for ten years mostly in the hospital setting but most recently working as a skilled homecare nurse. I’m dissatisfied with our current healthcare model and want to help people on a more personal and holistic level. I’m starting a journey into Holistic and Functional Nursing and Nurse Coaching.
One of the first ways I’m planning to lean into this is to begin offering some groups through Adult Ed at RSU 89.
The first group I will be starting with will be a FREE Women’s Circle. This will be a safe space to seek support, connection, and community with other women.
This will start as a monthly meeting. The first meeting will be held on Thursday, November 2nd at 5:30 p.m. at Katahdin High School. The first several meetings I plan to create group objectives, rules and expectations. This is not MY group, it is yours…ours! We will build as we go, tailor topics to the group, learn and grow together.
Please come with an open heart and mind and maybe a cup of tea, blanket, pillow or mat to sit on. This will be an informal and intimate atmosphere where we will start with some breathing and grounding practices and allow the conversation to develop organically.
You can follow me at Holhealth Maine on Facebook for more info, information on holistic and alternative remedies and more!
I look forward to connecting with you!

Downhill skiing will begin in January 2024 for Katahdin students. Representatives from Big Rock Mountain will be scheduling a measurement/ equipment fitting at Katahdin Schools. At that time the liability waiver and equipment rental must be completed before your child can be measured and fitted for equipment. We will let you know when Big Rock is coming to measure and do the equipment fitting. Thank-you for your attention to this opportunity for your child.
