KPMS Yearbooks
Yearbook season has begun! We have a great group of eager 7th and 8th-grade staff members that are busy gathering photos and generating ideas for yearbook content. If you and your student(s) are interested in purchasing a yearbook, go to jostens.com and enter 'King Philip Middle School' in the 'Find my School' field. Students and parents that order their yearbook before Dec. 1st will save $10 off the $50 retail price. If you have any questions about the yearbook or how to purchase one, don't hesitate to contact Mr. Cannon, the yearbook advisor, at cannonr@kingphilip.com.
If you have been receiving promotional emails from Jostens and would no longer like to receive these emails, you are encouraged to use the 'unsubscribe' button at the bottom of the email.
If you have any questions about yearbooks, please contact the Yearbook Advisor, Mr. Cannon, at cannonr@kingphilip.org.
Food Drive Update
Thank you to everyone for their generosity in contributing to our food drive. Please see the pictures below of some of the food that was collected for our local food pantries. It is amazing to see what our students, faculty, and families can do to support one another. A special thanks goes out to staff members Katie Brenneis and Kathy Curtin for organizing the event!
Interested in Helping the PTSO?
The PTSO could always use more help and volunteers throughout the year. Please send us an email if you are interested in being involved! We could not continue to support the school without your help...thank you! Your time and monetary donations have been instrumental the past year.
