At the end of the day on Tuesday before Thanksgiving break, we will have an assembly at KMMS. There will be a Dodge Ball Tournament between the grades. We need at least 25 students from each grade/house to complete the teams. During the intermission we’ll have a Turkey Trot race. We’d like 6 students to participate in the “Trot.” All turkey trotters will be given a turkey headband to wear during the race and take home afterward. Please ask your house teachers about where you can find the Google Form so that you can sign up to participate at the assembly. We would like all 8th graders to wear black, 7th graders to wear blue, 6th to wear gold and Create to wear white. |

Light in the Darkness Fundraiser |

Today we are recognizing National Children’s Grief Awareness Day. Thank you to everyone who wore blue to show your support on this important day.
Terri Irwin said: "Your grief path is yours alone, and no one else can walk it, and no one else can understand it."
Many people don’t realize that it often takes children longer to process their grief than we might expect, and we can’t always see the inner turmoil they are experiencing. Raising awareness helps remind us that even when there are no outward signs, a grieving student may still be navigating a storm of emotions inside.
Today is the last day to visit the Wall of Support to honor someone you have lost. You are also encouraged to write a letter to them and drop it in the sealed box during your lunch period.
Tomorrow will be the final day to contribute to the Light in the Darkness Fundraiser, so please bring your dollars to support KMMS students and families facing loss or extreme hardship.
