Principal's Message: Be like Gerald Edition

Students, parents, families, and friends of KMS, today is a great day to be like Gerald.

Failure leads to success is the KMS Key to Success focus for the month, and it’s a great one. It is interesting to see how averse we are to failure. Truly, it’s something I observe multiple times each week. That is, I see students and adults who attach self-worth to not being successful with something. It’s a good reminder for all of us that each day we tackle things that we haven’t mastered, things that are challenging, and none of them have any reflection to what type of person we are, how successful we are, or how successful we will be in the future. So, with this I want to introduce you to Gerald Hodges. Take 3 minutes and watch this video and let this quote resonate with you. “If I couldn’t handle not being good at something, then how could I consider myself a successful person?”

The bottom of the badge has a ribbon with the year 2025 in the middle of it, and just below this ribbon it has the text "Award of Merit Website".

We’re excited to share that DoDEA has won the National School Public Relations Association (NSPRA) Publications and Digital Media Excellence Award – Website Award of Merit for our School Newsletters Project!
