Students, parents, families, and friends of KMS, happy Wednesday. 

In last week’s Principal’s Message, we had the honor of a message from Ms. D’Angelo, assistant principal extraordinaire. Her message was a salient one, as it gave a glimpse into the uniqueness that comes with how we support our kids towards making positive choices. Less face it, being a kid in 2024 is not easy. It comes with a complex set of challenges that can shift and change constantly. While this isn’t necessarily a new phenomenon, it warrants our joint partnerships to guide one another towards developing positive self-concepts and relationships. One of the most important aspects of the tween/teen years is this partnership as we support our kids to own and learn from mistakes. We all make them, and we can help our students to navigate mistakes by modeling grace and poise amid a setback. Fortunately, KMS is filled with a community of staff that is dedicated to not only growing students academically, but also growing them socially. Truly, we have an amazing community of students, an amazing community of parents, and an amazing community of staff. Thank you for being part of that team!
