Dear KMS Families,

In the coming weeks, KMS counselors will be visiting our 6th and 7th grade students to talk about class and elective options for the 2025–2026 school year.

Nurse Amber's pantry not only supplies snacks for hungry kids at school but has also begun a weekend food program. Foods for breakfast, lunch, and dinner are sent home with identified students each Friday to be sure they have meals to last them through the weekend.

If your student would benefit from a weekend food bag please reach out to

Nurse Amber at 907-486-7470.

Nurse Amber is also looking for donations of the following food items to stock these weekend foods bags:

• Cereal
• Oatmeal
• Pop tarts
• Pancake mix
• Ramen
• Macaroni and cheese
• Rice
• Shelf stable milk
• Spam/canned meats
• Canned fruit and veggies
• Canned soup
• Canned chili
• Stuffing mix
• Dehydrated mashed potatoes

If you'd like to donate fresh items like fruit, vegetables, or eggs, we kindly ask that those be dropped off on Fridays before noon so we can store them properly.

Thank you for supporting our school community!

Here you will find events that will be happening in the next couple of months,
