1. Good morning Cougs! Today is Thursday, October 17th. During the month of October, we recognize and grow in Disability Awareness. This is a time for our school and district to increase understanding, respect, and acceptance of people with disabilities. This serves as a powerful reminder that diversity enriches our community and that every student, regardless of ability, can thrive and succeed. At KPMS, we celebrate the unique talents and perspectives that students with disabilities bring to our schools, recognizing inclusion benefits everyone.
2. Keep walking right and talking right while speaking at a level 1 volume in the halls. Cell phones and wireless earbuds should be stored away and out of sight. Please remember that 4th period classes are in session after 1st lunch and before 2nd lunch, so please make a quiet transition. Bring your student ID to lunch and scan in to ensure the lunch line moves as quickly as possible.
3. This week is Nutrition Services Appreciation Week. We invite you to take a moment this week to show appreciation for our amazing nutrition services staff, Mrs. Teri and Mrs. Jenelle! Give them a shoutout and a thank you as you get breakfast and lunch this week and remember how far a simple please and thank you go.
4. Soccer and volleyball have their final matches today at Kopachuck and the Cross Country Championships are this Friday at Sehmel Homestead Park at 3:30 pm. Let's continue to encourage our student athletes toward the pursuit of excellence.
5. Wrestling and all sports registration is open. We are excited to begin the Wrestling season this coming Monday, October 21st. Wrestling is open to 6th, 7th, and 8th grade boys and girls. Come on out and join the team, no prior experience necessary.
6. This Friday is our first ASB meeting. All Cougar Academy representatives need to check in with their Cougar Academy teacher and go straight to the cafeteria for the meeting.
