KMS NEWSLETTER

Dear KMS Families,

As we approach the end of the first quarter on November 1st, we want to take a moment to acknowledge the hard work and dedication our students have shown thus far. It's been a productive and engaging start to the school year, and we look forward to continuing this momentum.

In the upcoming weeks, we will be focusing on the theme of KINDNESS. We believe that fostering a supportive and respectful environment is crucial for our students' growth and well-being. We ask you to talk with your children about the importance of being kind to one another in both actions and words.

Your support in reinforcing this message at home is invaluable. Thank you for your continued partnership and dedication to our school's community.

Sincerely,

Rena Rankin, Principal

Judith Bruns, Assistant Principal
