From the Principal: Working Together for Our Students

Dear KMS Families,

On a daily basis, we focus on following through on our commitments to students and families. Every day, our staff works hard to provide the best learning experiences, both in and out of the classroom. We want you to know that your partnership with us makes a big difference.

Over the next few weeks, we have some exciting events and programs planned that will help our students grow, not just academically but emotionally too. We encourage families to be involved and stay connected as we move forward together. Join us at upcoming events, volunteer to help out, or share your ideas with us! We’re excited to continue working together to make this school year great for every student. Your feedback is important, and we’re here to listen. Our goal is to create a school where everyone feels welcome and valued. Thank you for your support!

Partners in Learning,

Shelly Manuel

Principal, KMS

Science

Snack Tectonics Lab

In this hands-on activity, students used frosting, graham crackers, and fruit roll-up to creatively demonstrate tectonic plate movement and the geological features that form as a result.

This lab not only reinforced our understanding of plate tectonics but also allowed students to explore these concepts in a delicious and memorable way!
