Dear RSU 21 Families,

On Friday, our school community wore blue in solidarity with Lewiston. KHS students also met on the field and formed the letter "L" and hearts with their hands to show our support. These simple acts ground us and remind us of our connections to our greater community across Maine. We continue to keep the victims and families in our thoughts and prayers.

I hope through this weekend we all remind ourselves of how fortunate we are to have such a close-knit and caring community. We are indeed Better Together.

Much Love,

Terri I. Cooper, Ed.D.

RSU 21 Superintendent

RSU 21 is Lewiston Strong ❤️

KHS Alternative Education Teachers Present in Tampa

KHS Alt-Ed Teachers Jacquelyn Holmes and Edward Sharood presented at the National Alternative Education Association conference in Tampa, Florida last week.

"Our presentation focused on our process for developing and fostering connections with community partners and how these connections are embedded into our Alt Ed curriculum," Holmes said, "and throughout the presentation we told stories of our students' work in the community and highlighted our partnerships Kennebunkport Conservation Trust, Kiuna Community Gardeners, and the countless community members who have been mentors and shared their expertise with our students over the past ten years."

"The opportunity to share our Alt Ed model and story with teachers and school leaders from all over the country felt so special and energizing. We were proud to represent this community at the conference and will continue to seek opportunities to share the magic of Alt Ed with more folks in the future," she said.

KHS T-RAMS: Shopping, Cookin', Serving & Smiling

Last week, students working with Transition Resources and Management Services (T-RAMS) researched a recipe and went grocery shopping, looking for the most economical and healthy ingredients (lower fat, less sodium, and high fiber).

On Wednesday, they cooked a hearty and delicious tortellini, vegetable, and chicken sausage soup. Baked goods were provided by Paula Reetz’s RISE program. Students decorated the teachers' room for lunch and served the meal. Assistant Special Education Director, Will Putnam, was one of the honored guests*. Students made floral arrangements that were raffled off. After lunch, KHS “Cheer Walkers” hit the road to spread some cheer on Intervale Road.

(*Additional faculty attendees: Greg Smith, Dave Cimato, Andy Young, Isabel Dumas, Jason Kenuk, and Donna Lindgren).
