FROM THE PRINCIPAL'S DESK
KMS Families,
We’ve reached the end of the 1st semester! Over the course of the last 19 weeks, we’ve seen students learn and grow in many ways. Students have emerged as leaders and model what it means to work hard and be kind on a daily basis. Students have put forth a lot of effort over the last 5 months and are deserving of a break!
I hope your family has a happy holiday season! We’ll see everyone back at school on January 6 to kick off the 2nd semester of the year.
Greg
