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

History
7th grade history classes attended Mesopotamia scribal school this week. They practiced writing on cuneiform tablets and discovered why scribes were considered to have high status in Mesopotamian society. It is hard work!

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!

Feed it Forward
Food Insecurity is on the rise at Kuna Middle School 
Feed it Forward is a program hosted by KMS PTO for KMS students.
It allows anyone to donate in order to cover needed school lunch funds. 
Students are not allowed to charge meals.
Insufficient funds= no lunch
Short $.50 =no lunch 

But, Feed it Forward can cover a student that day, so they can have a
hot lunch.
KMS PTO donated $500 in March to the program, that money was well spent covering student lunches. 
They have donated another $500, but it will likely be gone in six weeks or less. 
Please consider donating.

How to donate:
Scan the QR code, Specify Feed it Forward on your donation
If you would like a receipt, please reach out to the KMS PTO and they will provide one.
KMS PTO is a 501 (c) (3) tax exempt organization
Thank you for supporting KMS and it's students
