KMMS DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

The KM Forensics team will meet for the first time next week on Tuesday, October 15, right after school until 4 pm.

What is forensics?

It's NOT using scientific methods to solve crimes

So what is forensics?

It is what the public fears more than death.

Wait. What? What exactly is forensics? 

KM Forensics is the school's award-winning speech team. Come and learn how to meet new friends and influence others with your words.
