7th Grade artists at KMHS explored different methods of drawing pumpkins. From their drawings, they created a collage version using colored paper. Artists then used a variety of patterns using lines with markers in each section to create contrast. Shoutout to Mrs. Howes for drawing out the artists in our students!

On behalf of RSU 89 staff and students, we'd like to extend our gratitude for our community, our parents, and all who help make our schools a safe and positive place to be! Please enjoy your family, friends, and loved ones as we express gratitude to all who touch our lives.
Happy Thanksgiving everyone!
This gets our hearts at KMHS pumping with excitement about learning! Bio 100 made heart models to show flow of simulated blood through the heart and how it pumps between chambers.
Thank you to our incredible food service team, custodial staff, educators, and families that made this Thanksgiving meal possible. We are grateful for the time shared together!

Thank you to Katahdin trust for presenting to Ms. Harvey's financial literacy class about budgeting. Such an important skill as students move along into the workforce and manage their finances!
High School Outdoor Ed Class tried their hand at making fire during the beginning of the snow. They determined what would be needed to start a good fire in different conditions. Congratulations to Leif for being the only one to produce a flame.
Last week, we received a generous donation in the form of a newly paved basketball court. During recess, children were thrilled to utilize this new space through basketball, four-square, chalk art, and matchbox car racing.
Thanks to Mrs. Berry, who coordinated with Northeast Paving, Mr. Brackett, who scheduled the event, and the staff members that flexibly shifted their outdoor learning journeys/ teaching plans to make this possible.

Exploration Science - 8th Grade
With Fall being so warm, Kayaking safety and practice was able to be extended. Students were able to practice getting in and out of the kayak, practice maneuvering around each other, and practicing paddling around the island in the ponds below KMHS. There was a lot of laughter and a lot of splashing, but most importantly, a lot of engaged learning was taking place. A great success for Exploration Science in the Middle School!
Our Good Shepherd Food Pantry will be held today from 2:15 to 4:00 in the KES bus garage. All are welcome!
Going forward doors will not open until 2:15.
Please do not plan to arrive early as it creates traffic confusion for buses and student pickup.
Thank you!
End of the quarter is always a celebration for us at KMHS. It is a celebration of success at not only an academic level, but a personal level as well. With that, as a celebration, Middle School Exploration Science purchased what was needed for S'mores and the students practiced their flint and steel fire making skills. The entire classes were spent cooking S'mores and sharing what they were expecting to learn next quarter.
Due to inclement weather, students will be dismissed from RSU 89 schools at 11:30. They will be served lunch before leaving school today.
Exploration Science has been hard at work building their first KMS outdoor classroom with a trail that will lead to Route 11. Currently the floor has been cleared and the Cedar logs are being placed around the perimeter for protection and privacy. This will be one of three classrooms that will be available in the KMHS woodline. Please make sure you come and visit our work!
Ms. Harvey's Bio 100 class dissected sheep hearts last week. Dissections are a valuable teaching tool when learning about anatomy and body processes. As you can see, some students were more thrilled with the experience than others 😊🐑
There is a School Committee Meeting at the KES cafeteria on Thursday, November 17, 2022. All are welcome to attend.
Adult Ed held a painting class on November 9th--take a look at the talented community artists getting into the holiday spirit--Gnome what I'm sayin'?
