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.

Over this past weekend was Mexican Independence Day - September 16! Though Cinco de Mayo is often celebrated more in the US than September 16 is, the people of Mexico actually declared their independence from Spain on September 16, 1810. A priest named Father Hidalgo rang his church bell in Dolores, Mexico on September 16 and shouted a call to arms that sparked the Mexican War of Independence.  Like the United States, Mexico had to fight a long and difficult war against a European nation (in Mexico's case, that nation was Spain) to win their independence as a nation.  And, like the United States, many people in Mexico celebrate their independence day with fireworks, flags, and parties. 

Congratulations to the KMMS Cross Country team. It was a perfect afternoon to run 1.7 miles with 5 other schools. Our runners were up for the challenging course with hills, a mismarked path and disturbed beehive to finish strong. Congratulations to Kaitlyn M. with a time of 12 minutes 25 second that earned her a third place finish, Aniston R. with a time of 11 minutes 32 seconds to earn a first place finish and finishing in the top 10 for boys was Jack M. with a time of 11:30 and Austin H. with a time of 12:32.  We are so proud of all who raced on Tuesday! 

Learning lab is every Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday from 2:45 - 4:00 in the library. If you are here after school and do not have an activity or club to attend, you should be waiting for your ride in the Learning Lab. When you are in the Learning Lab, please stay there until your ride arrives.
