We work hard here at KMS to promote kindness. Mrs. Heesch is our Kindness Klub advisor. This club will be meeting in room 8, every other Tuesday. The Kindness Klub will be promoting a spirit of giving and generosity to not only their peers, but to their teachers and staff as well. Mrs. Heesch will be encouraging the students to use their own imagination to achieve what this looks like to them. Please come join the Kindness Klub!!! Everyone is welcome!

Our Career Explorations Classes and AVID Class have been busy at KMS. Danielle Ready, from Idaho Power, presented to our students and gave them insight on all the different pathways they have at Idaho Power (over 600 different careers). It has been a busy week for students as they explored options and learned more about careers they may not have known much about.

In science, students are constructing earthquake resistant structures where students had to build a spaghetti and marshmallow structure that was 30 cm tall, could withstand a 9.0 earthquake, and hold weight. These structures are great!
