Welcome to our fourth newsletter. Fall programs are underway. FIRST Lego League (FLL), Squires of Katahdin, has 10 students, the maximum number allowed. FIRST Robotics Competition (FRC), Knights of Katahdin, has nearly double the number of students as last year. We also started a new fiber arts class called "From Sheep to Shawl" at Bean's Corner Baptist Church on Thursday afternoons. Read on for more . . . |

The Knights of Katahdin FRC team WON Mainely Spirit, an off-season competition at Messalonskee Middle School! Here is a link to their last two playoff matches. Livermore Falls Advertiser also had an article about this event, linked here. |

This fall we will have at least two programs for FIRST Lego League and FIRST Robotics Competition teams. As other programs develop, we will announce them in an upcoming newsletter and on our website.
