Announcements 2/11
1. Good morning, Cougs! Today is Wednesday, February 11th. As we lean into Black History Month, remember this is a time to recognize, honor, and celebrate the history, culture, and contributions of Black Americans. Did you know that music has always been a powerful part of Black culture? From jazz and blues to hip-hop, rap, and R&B, these styles give voice to stories, struggles, and celebration.
2. Please take a moment to reflect and remember that words hold power. KPMS is a hate-free environment, and any form of discriminatory language or behavior will not be tolerated and will result in corrective action. Please go out of your way to be an upstander and address or report discriminatory language or behavior if you witness it. It takes our entire school community to stand up to discrimination and to develop a safe and inclusive culture where everyone has the opportunity to succeed.
3. The student store is _________ at lunch and we are hopeful students will continue following lunch expectations by remaining seated at a level 1 volume, throwing garbage away and being responsible for cleaning up any accidental spills, exhibiting expected behavior during honor time, and transitioning to class after lunch by walking to the right and talking at a level 1 volume. This is also a reminder that chromebooks are the property of the Peninsula School District and acts of destruction or vandalism come with a cost and corrective action. Please exhibit expected behavior and remind your peers to show respect for our learning materials, common spaces, and school environment. We believe in you!
4. The Lady Cougars had their final game of the regular season yesterday at Harbor Ridge. The team finished off the season displaying the growth, teamwork, and sportsmanship they've embodied all season long. We are so proud of their effort and the way they represented Cougar Nation this season. The end-of-season district tournament is tomorrow at 5 pm at Peninsula High School. Also, coach Shana is inviting all girls interested in learning more about the basketball program to an open practice today. This is a great way to meet the coaches, players, and get a taste of Cougar basketball. Remember that you will need a ride home at 4:30 pm if you are going to stay after. Please meet the team in the gym after school if you are going to attend.
5. Unfortunately, Valenpops are no longer for sale during honor time; however, they are available online. $1.00 Valenpops can still be purchased through the bookkeeper's link on the KPMS website. Last chance to purchase a sweet treat for someone in our KPMS community is tonight. You can purchase your tickets to Thursday's Social during lunch today and Thursday morning. Remember that tickets will not be sold at the door.
