One of our favorite traditions, KEMS Annual All-Star Game, continues to bring our school community together! This special event, started by Mr. Taylor over 30 years ago, has become a cherished tradition filled with school spirit, sportsmanship, and fun.

Our students had an amazing time cheering on the players and enjoying an exciting game. Thank you, Mr. Taylor and PE Team, for creating a tradition that has provided decades of positive memories for our Royals!

Using only three sheets of paper and 30 cm of tape, students competed to build the tallest free-standing structure that could withstand wind from a fan for 20 seconds. So much creativity, teamwork, and problem-solving on display!

So much engagement and teamwork during our “Drops on a Coin” lab! 💧🪙

Students collaborated to investigate how many drops of water could fit on a coin, then used their results to calculate measures of central tendency. To conclude the activity, they created graphs to represent and analyze their data.

Hands-on learning, critical thinking, and teamwork in action! 📊

Our 8th Grade Breakfast was truly bittersweet.

It was wonderful seeing all of our Royals together one last time before they begin their next chapter in high school. The memories, friendships, and accomplishments they’ve made during their time at KEMS will always be a part of our Royal family.

A special thank you to our 8th Grade Committee for putting together such a wonderful breakfast and helping make this event so memorable!
