Principal's Message

Karrer Parents-

Winter break is only two short weeks away from today, but don't let that fool you: we still have lots going on here at KMS! On December 19, athletics will host a HUGE KMS vs. SMS basketball event and white out! Come and support our Karrer girls and boys (7th and 8th) grade basketball teams- and remember, students get in free! All proceeds will benefit Honor Flight.

On December 20, we are planning an all school assembly at the end of the day. Teachers and students will have an opportunity to compete against one another in some fun relay races and school spirit!

And let's not forget about learning! Students taking high school classes will begin high school semester exams next week- see the complete calendar below! The end of quarter two for all students is December 20.

The new year will be here before you know it! Please reach out to Mrs. Hanneman in attendance now to let her know if you plan for your child to miss any school before our official break. Thank you!

Have a wonderful weekend!
