Do you know anyone who is going through a separation or divorce who has kids? This one-session group helps kids develop essential skills to cope and heal. Through engaging activities and discussions, they will learn to express their emotions, build resilience, and realize they are not alone. Our supportive counselors create a space for them to gain confidence and connect with peers facing similar challenges.  There are sessions for ages 9-11 and 12-14.  For more information on this group, go here: https://www.galsinstitute.com/workshops

You are invited to join the KM Forensic Team, where students learn to speak with conviction. Whether performing a dramatic monologue or delivering a persuasive speech, this team helps us build communication skills with confidence and clarity. Through practice and competition, we gain the tools to express ideas with passion and precision. It’s a place to grow, find your voice, and make an impact—because every argument we make and story we tell has the power to shape the world around us.

We meet every Tuesday from 2:35 to 4 pm in room 601. Questions? Contact Mr. Kaldhusdal
