Week of June 16, 2025 Last Week of School

 We made it to the Last Week of School!

What an incredible year it’s been at KMS—full of excitement, growth, and school spirit! From the very first day to this final week, our students and staff have built a vibrant, supportive community we’re proud to celebrate.

We proudly welcomed a new class of 6th and 7th graders and several new teachers, all bringing fresh energy and enthusiasm to our halls. In October, we wore pink every Wednesday for Breast Cancer Awareness, showing unity and compassion in action. New clubs like Builder’s Club, Mural Club and Writing Club joined beloved favorites such as the ESSC Ski Club and Mountain Biking Club, giving students even more ways to connect and thrive.

Our Fall, Winter, and Spring sports teams gave it their all this year, while Band and Chorus grew in both talent and numbers. We made lasting memories at Camp Cody, came together for Spirit Weeks, and explored new ideas during events like the Science Fair, Career Day, and WMTW's Weather at Your School. A standout moment was the electrifying performance by Recycled Percussion, whose message of Chaos and Kindness truly resonated.

This year’s field trips added even more adventure and fun—from cheering at a Maine Mariners hockey game to enjoying the sunshine at Sea Dogs baseball game. Students also braved winter conditions on a trip up the Cog Railway to the top of Mt. Washington, and our 8th graders capped off their time at KMS with a final, joy-filled trip to Storyland.

As we look ahead to summer, we want to thank our incredible students and families. Your support, spirit, and partnership made this year unforgettable. Enjoy a well-earned break—and here’s to the bright days ahead! Be sure to check out this Video of our year in review!
