In guidance, our kindergarteners talked about the power of our words and how they can affect others. They learned that once a heart is wrinkled with unkind words, itās hard to make it smooth againā¦ a great reminder to always speak with kindness!
Our middle school students have had hands-on learning experiences in science. Students in the 8th grade participated in a chemistry lab dissolving styrofoam in acetone. Our 7th-grade students viewed living outdoor specimens under the microscopes, and 6th-grade students found frogs at recess.
Thursday, October 9th is an early release day. Students will be dismissed at 11:15 today.
Fear awaits at Katahin High School's Haunted Trail. Saturday, October 25th, from 6 pm -9 pm. Proceeds to benefit Katahdin High School Student Council, $5.00 per person.
The middle school outdoor education class participated in an experiment with Katahdin Woods and Waters National Monument. Students were transported to Lunksoos Boat Launch to do a Dragonfly Mercury experiment. Students geared up in waders and boots to collect specimens from the water to catalogue and examine. The students worked with KAWW staff and were able to collect a number of dragonfly larvae, as well as discover some other species of pond life they had not seen before.
Our wonderful food service team at Katahdin Schools has done it once again! USDA National Recognition for continuously improving our students' lunch program!
Way to go, Denise, Tammy, Jill, Holly, and Melissa!

On Wednesday, students from grades 6-12 went to Ashland District School to participate in the RIDESAFE event. They learned about safety and rules that pertain to ATV/UTV, Snowmobile, and Boating.
The Outdoor English 2 class completed their first project. After researching and writing a "how-to" essay, students used their essays to build a Ga Ga Pit. This will give our middle school students a fun activity to use during their recess time!
Today's grade 4 field trip has been canceled and rescheduled for Wednesday, October 1st.
Our 3rd graders discovered where water sits in our natural environment. They concluded that slopes, angles, gravity, and absorption all play a role. They were great scientists!
Our 3rd graders engaged in a fun activity to practice their first long vowel spelling patterns. They are currently learning that words have to ālook right,ā not just sound right. Students marked squares with the spelling patterns and identified each long Aa pattern in the given words. They enjoyed jumping to the matching pattern and checking their work.
