Red Ribbon Week is recognized in schools across the United States October 23-October 30th  to raise awareness about the importance of living a drug-free life and making healthy, safe choices.  Kennett Middle School will be recognizing this week as an opportunity for schools, families, and communities to work together to educate students about the risks of substance use and encourage positive decision-making.

Middle school is a time when students are developing their independence, navigating peer pressure, building friendships, and forming habits that can influence their future. This week is a great time to have conversations with your student about the importance of making responsible choices, resisting pressure to experiment with harmful substances, and understanding that their health and well-being matter.

We will have daily announcements giving information about making positive choices and living a healthy lifestyle.  There will be an informational table set up at lunch for students to look at and we will come together on Tuesday the 27th by wearing Red to show our commitment to healthy lifestyles and choices.  

KHS is excited to host our first event for this year's eighth grade class, the Class of 2031. They want to offer eighth graders and their families a chance to come and tour the school, meet the staff that will work with you, and see what great clubs and co-curriculars are available to you at KHS! Thye hope all families and students are able to attend!

Our KMS Music Boosters are off to a great start, and we’d love to welcome more parents to the team!

Our big goal this year is to raise enough money to send our students to the Great East Music Festival in June without families having to pay out of pocket. With your help, we can make this opportunity possible for our students!

There are plenty of ways to get involved, and you don’t have to make a big time commitment to make a difference. Whether you can help at an event, lend a hand with a fundraiser, or share your ideas, every contribution counts.

Join us at our next meeting to learn more about our plans and discover how you can help support our KMS musicians.

Get ready for some Halloween fun! Students are welcome to wear their Halloween costumes to school on Friday, October 30th! To ensure a safe and enjoyable day for all, please review the following costume guidelines:

We look forward to seeing everyone's creativity! 🦅🎃

Thank you for helping us prepare for the upcoming sports season. 

Coach Dave Caputo will be hosting an optional open gym for any girls interested in playing basketball on Tuesday, October 27th, from 4:30–6:00 p.m. The open gym will take place at the Rec Gym (Marshall Gym). If your child cannot make it, that's completely fine; there will be other opportunities next week.

Please be aware that there will be no late bus available, so all players must have a parent/guardian pick them up promptly at 6:00 p.m.

Important:  All players must arrive no later than 4:20 p.m. The rec doors will be locked at 4:30 p.m., and no one will be available to let late arrivals into the building. Please plan accordingly!
