Students in forensics are studying fingerprints and how they can be used to link a suspect to a crime. Fingerprints can be split into 3 major categories: loops, whorls, and arches. Once categorized forensic scientists need to analyze minutiae, small fingerprint details, to decide who the fingerprint belongs to specifically. Students used a document camera/interactive white board to look for specific minutiae in their own fingerprints. They also used a balloon to inflate their fingerprints to create larger minutiae detail.

Freshman in Earth science are currently studying astronomy and the systems that the Earth is involved with in the universe. Pictured are students using flashlights and balls to represent the sun-earth-moon system, and how the three planetary bodies impact each other and create different phenomena like the phases of the moon.

Staff at KMHS spent the Friday afternoon learning social emotional and self care strategies to add to their tool box of skills. Gary Crocker, from West Gardiner Maine, spent time sharing stories, making up facts and creating belly laughter from everyone! He ended his message with two take aways - staff have no idea the impact they make on students everyday and be kind even when it seems ok to stand your ground. Thanks to everyone who generously donated to the Donors Choose grant that supported this event. Shelley
