Principal's Post

Hello KMMS families,

As we head into winter break and put a bow on another busy year, I want to take a moment to say thank you for the support you have shown our school and your children. Your involvement and encouragement make a real difference in your child’s learning and in the positive culture we work hard to build together.

Looking ahead to 2026, I am excited about the continued growth of our school and the meaningful learning experiences still to come. Whether your break includes travel, family traditions, or simply catching your breath, I hope it is filled with rest, laughter, and time together. We look forward to welcoming students back recharged, ready to learn, and eager to develop more grit to persist through the challenges of school and adolescence. 

Have a wonderful Christmas, happy holidays, enjoy the winter break!
