6th Grade Camp Wrap Up
6th Grade Camp was an incredible success! The weather was beautiful. The kids were very engaged in activities and well-behaved overall. We frequently noticed how students supported each other, challenged themselves, and used their manners to thank each other and adults. We are so appreciative of our parent chaperones! They were rock stars! We did have a few miscellaneous items left behind after students picked up luggage yesterday. We placed those items in the office. Please pick them up if they are your child's belongings. Finally, if you did not pick up your child's meds/med bottles, the nurse has those items for parent pick-up as well.
The Student Council
The KHMS student council is partnering with Kids' Food Basket for Brown Bag Decorating Month that runs now through October 31st. Kids' Food Basket is a local nonprofit organization that provides students in need with sack dinners. It brings more joy when the bags are decorated. This is how you can help! Students can get brown bags from their Connect teacher. Any student that would like to decorate some at home can get more from Mrs. Haines. Please decorate both sides using markers, crayons, or colored pencils. Please keep messages appropriate and avoid anything religious or political. Thanks for your support of a great organization that helps so many area kids.

TRANSPORTATION BEFORE AND AFTER SCHOOL CAREOur Personal Mastery educational experience has redefined education and has gained attention around the state and nation. Personal Mastery provides your child with personalized attention from teachers. Instead of teaching to a broad group of students without an understanding of their individual strengths and weaknesses, Personal Mastery allows teachers to interact with students individually or in small groups to help them better address their weaknesses. In this way, we strive to help your child reach their full potential.
