May 20 - 7th Grade Field Trip (Ninja Citi Adventure Park)
May 21 - Pool Day (Walking field trip to Worthington Pool, 12:30pm - 2:30pm). Yearbooks will be distributed in the afternoon.

What help is needed:
• We are asking each student to donate $20 toward the event. This will also include a class t-shirt for
every student in the class. Donations can be payable via Venmo to @Heather-Wilson-510 or cash
delivered to the KMS office in a marked envelope. If you are able to donate extra to help ensure every
student receives a shirt / party regardless of financial circumstances, please feel free to do so.
• Additionally, we are asking for some help with supplies needed for the party. If you can help, please
