Drama pictures- The Complaint Department

In rapid succession of hysterical grievances, the complaint department takes on everything from Oreo icing to kleptomania and from songs stuck in the head to the price of cheese and on and on. Could there be a glimmer of hope for anyone in charge of a complaint department? 8 talented students rapidly ran through each complaint with expression and ease!!

In recognition of Autism Awareness month KMHS students and staff wore BLUE for “Light in up blue” which is Saturday, April 2. The picture was taken in the gym- we tried to make a blue light bulb!🥰 Last year we raised about $800 to send to Autism of Maine. Our Student Councel is selling tickets for baskets. The baskets are Petcare donated by Veronica, Katahdin Gear donated by the school, Car care donated by Nate, Gift card pack, and Simply Savvy Essentials donated by Sam. The tickets are 1 for $1 or 6 for $5 and you can see Maggie O'Hara, Emily Nason, Riley Ryan, Alexis Fitz, Chole Rickards, Alexis Gardner, and Lolli Wimmer to purchase a ticket. All proceeds will be donated for Autism awareness month. - Please help us learn about and support awareness.

Parent Focus Group Participants Needed for KES~ Thanks to those who have volunteered to be part of our KES parent focus group to talk about learning outdoors! We are still in need of a few more parents. Please see the message below and contact the school if you are interested. Thank you! The outdoor learning pilot program that we are currently implementing at KES is being funded by the Rethinking Responsive Education Ventures grant through the state of Maine. Part of the grant includes having outside evaluators visit Katahdin Schools and talk to those involved. We are in need of parents who are interested and willing to participate in a discussion that will last no more than an hour on Friday, April 15th beginning at 8:30. This focus group will meet in the KES library. Please call 365-4285 if you are able to participate. Thank you!
