HAPPY NATIONAL SCHOOL PSYCHOLOGIST WEEK!

This year’s theme is “Let’s Grow Together,” and we’re celebrating Mrs. Beyerl, our amazing school psychologist! Mrs. Beyerl helps students handle the many challenges of school, finds calm in any chaos and keeps problem solving, and continues to help students and our school grow.

Just like her favorite teams, the Wisconsin Women’s Volleyball team and the Milwaukee Bucks, Mrs. Beyerl shows grit every day by relentlessly showing up for the KMMS team, holding students accountable, cheering students on, and helping everyone be their best both in and out of the classroom.

Thanks, Mrs. Beyerl, for helping our Laser community grow together!
