To celebrate Read Across America and Dr. Seussās birthday, elementary students welcomed special guest readers to the school to share some of their favorite stories. This week is also āMystery Readerā week, when a staff member dresses in costume and a story is read to the students in a mystery voice.

Spirit Week will be happening at Katahdin Schools. Here is your chance to show off your school spirit as we celebrate each day with fun themes. High school students will earn Cougar Points for CougarFest daily for dressing up.
A special THANK YOU to Katahdin Trust in Patten for generously providing our Lady Cougars and their coaches with goodie bags packed with drinks and snacks for their trip to Bangor today!.
Second graders enjoyed a Winter Ecology presentation led by Crystal Lewis from Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. Students learned about deciduous and coniferous trees during the winter months and participated in a scavenger hunt to reinforce their learning.
Laughter and encouragement filled the ice rink as classmates supported one another, promoted physical activity, built confidence, and created lasting memories together as a school community before heading into February break.
Before vacation, our elementary students had the opportunity to participate in a fun and memorable ice-skating experience. Students eagerly laced up their skates and took to the ice, many trying something new while others built on skills they had already developed.
High School students took part in a career exploration trip to Davis Brothers Inc (DBI). They were able to visually see the testing tool that confirms a weld is up to code, how a machine can do a simple weld for smaller projects, stainless steel projects, and opportunities for careers in welding. They were also able to see the in's and out's of running a business. Thanks to Gear Up and DBI for providing this opportunity for our students while showing them the value of trades.
The 11th annual Read to ME Challenge is occurring during the month of February through the Maine Department of Education. Mainers are encouraged to read to and/or with children for at least 15 minutes a day. Reading to a child for 15 minutes per day for five years results in 27,375 minutes of language exposure, which can lead to high literacy development. Research indicates that the simple act of reading aloud helps children to build language, acquire vocabulary, develop knowledge about the world, and create bonds with trusted adults.
