Senior Night-- 2 of 2
Sophomores in biology are learning about cells and the organelles that make them up. To demonstrate their understanding and further explore organelle function they are drawing either a plant or an animal cell and providing a definition and function of each of the organelles found in the specific cell type.
Booster Booth opened today for the first time this year! Many thanks to the fine folks who make this a success!
Who touched Mr. Hannigan’s beaker? One teacher out of 6 suspects left 5 fingerprints on one of Mr. Hannigan’s glass beakers. Students in forensics were tasked with dusting and lifting the fingerprints from the beaker, and fingerprinting the 6 teacher suspects to determine which one left the fingerprints.
Hello all of you "Hallow-queens" and kings! An eerie reminder that Haunted Trail sponsored by KMHS Student Council will take place on Saturday October 22 from 6 pm to 9 pm for ages 12 and up--cost is $5 per person. Consider wearing a costume that is "eerie-sistable" and join the fun as we spend the evening "Creepin' it real"!
Two of our KMHS students ((both sophomores, both sopranos) have the distinguished honor of being nominated for All Aroostook Chorus and they are both auditioning for All State Chorus next week.
Both of these talented students also sing in our school choir, 7+1 Modern Band, and their church choirs.
If you see them in the halls, make sure to congratulate this amazing accomplishment!
Students spent time dissecting fish for a comparative anatomy lesson in Bio 101. Learning about human biology through other animals' anatomy is crucial to understanding body systems and the interactions between systems.
Though this is a few weeks old, we wanted to share these students who helped with KMHS beautification by transplanting mums for the front of the building. Everyone does their part to make KMHS a better place!
Seniors had the opportunity to attend the Northern Maine Community College Open House on October 14th in Presque Isle. The school provided a detailed tour of Wind Power Technology, Auto Collision, Auto Technology and Business Administration at the request of the attendees and a walkthrough of other programs on campus. We appreciate our community supporting opportunities for our students!

There will be a craft fair at Katahdin High School on December 10 from 10-3. We are looking for Venders. If you are interested call school at 365-4218 to sign up. The cost of the space is $20.
Middle school math classes are using strategies to help strengthen students' math skills--math games are one great way to accomplish this and keep learning fun! These games practice basic operations, strategy, problem solving skills which all come in handy in and out of the classroom 🧮🧩🤩

There is a school committee meeting on Thursday, October 20, 2022 at 5 PM at the KES cafeteria. All are welcome to attend.
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.
Join us for some ghoulish good times at Katahdin High School on October 22nd from 6-9 P.M. for our Annual Haunted Trail sponsored by KMHS Student Council--Ages 12 and up or parental guidance needed for younger goblins. 👻🎃 Price: $5 per guest. We hope to see you there!
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.

Grade 5 learned about the East Branch of the Penobscot River. They discovered animals native to the region and examined the benefits of undisturbed land and clean water. Students look for signs of wildlife and tested river water to determine chemical levels.
