In recognition of Autism Awareness month KMHS students and staff wore BLUE for āLight in up blueā which is Saturday, April 2. The picture was taken in the gym- we tried to make a blue light bulb!š„°
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.

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!

The Giver is a novel about a utopian society. After reading the novel and exploring the components of a utopian society, as a final project, this student has created his own utopian society inclusive of all of the components within the novel. He took it a step further as instead of drawing a map of the society, he built his utopian society using the game minecraft.
