To wrap up the 2025–2026 school year, we clapped out our 8th graders! Over the past two years, these students have grown into confident, kind, and hardworking individuals who became such an important part of our Panther family, and they’ll definitely be missed. We’re so proud of everything they’ve accomplished and can’t wait to see all the amazing things they do in high school and beyond. The future is bright for these students!
This year’s culminating showcase of THE HOBBIT projects was utterly amazing! Cambridge ELA Students chose what they wanted to create in order to celebrate what they learned while reading the novel! The amount of talent showcased is absolutely unbelievable!
KMS students showed up and showed OUT! 🎉🏀🎯🎧
Today we celebrated our students’ outstanding achievements on the state assessments with a day full of fun, music, games, co****le, basketball, and nonstop energy! These students worked hard all year long, and they earned every moment of this celebration. ❤️💛
We are so proud of their dedication, perseverance, and academic excellence. At KMS, we celebrate success BIG! 🙌

This week’s Panther Pride Award winners are Hailey and Cameron! Hailey shines through her positivity and kindness each day, and Cameron showed tremendous growth on his FAST assessment last week. We are proud of both students for representing Panther Pride so well!
This morning, 64 students got up early to attend our Civics Bootcamp! They were actively engaged in the four rotations thoughtfully planned and strategically led by Mr. Ostrander, Ms. Smith, Ms. Gerges, and Mr. Czyzewski. These valuable learning opportunities would not be possible without their dedication, time, and commitment to student success.
We are excited to see our students’ growth and confidence continue to build — Wednesday is their day to rock this assessment! ♥️♥️
Yesterday, we concluded our four sessions of SCIENCE Slam for our 8th grade students! These students have dedicated hours of extra work to prepare for success on the upcoming 8th grade science assessment.
A huge thank you to Ms. Colbert, Mr. Bertram, and Mr. Adams for planning and facilitating these engaging review sessions. Your commitment to supporting our students and creating meaningful learning experiences is truly appreciated!
Best of luck to all of our students — you’ve got this! 💛♥️
