Peer Mentoring
KMS is launching into Peer Mentoring program for 2024-2025. A total of 53 eighth grade and sixth grade students have asked to participate in the program. Students will participate in get to know you activities at first. Soon they will participate in other activities such as goal setting, organization, tutoring, and more. They will also discuss topics such as peer pressure, bullying, and stress management. 6th graders will meet their mentors for the first this week!
