KMMS DAILY ANNOUNCEMENTS

I pledge allegiance to the flag of the United States of America, and to the republic for which it stands, one nation under God, indivisible, with liberty and justice for all.

Bus 34 is running about 20-25 minutes late today. Please hold attendance until after 7:30. Thank you.

If you are at all curious about what it takes to join the Laserettes Dance Team next season, please fill out the Google form below. This will add you to the list to receive information regarding next year: tryout information, general information, etc. Tryouts will not be until March/April for our competition team and June for our football season-only team. This only adds you to a list to receive information and nothing more. So it can't hurt!

Two quick reminders for all students about lunch and recess expectations. First, please be reminded that phones and Chromebooks should not be seen during lunch.  Leave those items in your classroom or locker.  Secondly, we have now fully entered the cold weather season!  If you wish to go outside during your lunchtime, please dress appropriately for the weather.  Students will be expected to wear long pants and some sort of a jacket to go outside if the outdoor temperature is below 40 degrees.  If you make the choice to go outside, it is expected that you remain outside for the remainder of the lunch period.  

KMMS Student Senate is sponsoring a supply drive for Children's Hospital, led by 8th grader Iris Fouts!  The purpose of this drive is to collect books, arts & crafts, and other activities for patients and family members of patients who are in isolation in the ICU at Children's.  Here's what Iris had to say about it:  

"I was inspired to start this supply drive because I have had the experience of being in the hospital over the holidays while my brother was receiving treatment in the ICU.  Being in isolation can be hard for siblings because we aren't allowed to do things that kids outside of isolation can do.  Because of this, I want to help make the holidays a little brighter for people in isolation."    

Donated items must be NEW, less than 12" tall, and not homemade. To make sure your item is acceptable, check out THIS list of requirements.  

If you wish to donate an item, please place it in one of the labeled bins in the front hallway or the front office.  The deadline to donate your items is Friday, December 8.
