A Message from the Principal's Desk:
Greetings Dragon Community!
April was here and gone before we knew it, but KRMS had another fantastic month! We kicked off the month with a powerful guest speaker, Devin Wyman. The former NFL player highlighted the character trait of responsibility. His main messages of, "it's never too late to make a u-turn" and "winners look where they're going to and losers focus on what they're going through" certainly spoke to our students, and though the assembly is in the rearview mirror, we have been reiterating those messages via the morning announcements weekly. The month concluded with another successful Julie Riggi Walk-A-Thon. This year's walk raised over $700; the money will go towards mini scholarships for graduating seniors in Nurse Riggi's honor. One hundred and fifty students got involved with the walk and enjoyed a day in the sun. Finally, our track team has competed at the highest level winning multiple meets and sending two relay teams to the Penn Relays.
We look forward to a productive May. If you need anything, please do not hesitate to reach out to us.
Mr. Tonelli
Principal, Kingsway Regional Middle School
