We work hard here at KMS to promote kindness. Mrs. Heesch is our Kindness Klub advisor. This club will be meeting in room 8, every other Tuesday. The Kindness Klub will be promoting a spirit of giving and generosity to not only their peers, but to their teachers and staff as well. Mrs. Heesch will be encouraging the students to use their own imagination to achieve what this looks like to them. Please come join the Kindness Klub!!! Everyone is welcome!

These kids had their first rehearsal on September 6th and it is going to be a great jazz year!!!
