Students, parents, families, and friends of KMS, 

Happy Thursday

At KMS, kindness matters. Truly, building and sustaining a culture of kindness and generosity is critically important to our school, and the partnerships that we build between the classroom/school and home are paramount to support this. Our amazing KMS PTSA, in recognition of this, is kicking off a unique opportunity to highlight acts of kindness and generosity through a fundraiser unlike any other. Over the next several weeks (now-February 13) students will have an opportunity to serve others, engage in random acts of kindness, and demonstrate their generosity towards others. As an added incentive, this fundraiser comes with prizes and recognition. See below for a message from the KMS PTSA:

Welcome to our Raise Craze fundraiser! This is a unique way for us to raise money for our school while making an impact in our community. During this fundraiser, students ask friends and family for donations via the online Raise Craze platform while paying it forward and serving others. What a great way for us to teach our students the importance of kindness and gratitude while raising much-needed funds. Students will spend time serving, not selling!

Every student can participate in Raise Craze by completing Acts of Kindness (AOK) so we’re aiming for 100% participation. As a little encouragement, teachers will be recognizing “Kindness On the Spot” when they see students being kind so please talk to your student about ways he or she might show kindness at school. 

Need help getting started? Check out the Raise Craze Instructional Video at raisecraze.com/instructional-video/ or contact your KMS PTSA at kmsptsafundraising@gmail.com.

Thank you! We are looking forward to seeing all the wonderful ways our Knights will bring kindness to your homes, school, and our community!"
