Field Trips This Week

We’re excited to announce two fantastic field trips happening this week for our middle school students! 

🚂 6th Grade Adventure – Monday, June 2
Our 6th graders will be heading to the Mt. Washington Cog Railway for an unforgettable ride up the tallest peak in the Northeast! This historic railway offers stunning views and a unique learning experience about New Hampshire’s geography and history.

Students should arrive at school by 7:15-7:20.  They will be departing KMS at 7:25.  Late students will not be attending the trip. Students will return to KMS for regular dismissal time.  Students should bring sturdy, closed-toed shoes, long pants, a base layer, a warm mid-layer, waterproof outer layer/shell, warm hat, pair of glove, a backpack to put all of your belongings in, a hearty lunch (packed at home unless pre-ordered at school) and water bottle and snacks.

⚾ 8th Grade Fun Day – Thursday, June 5
Our 8th graders will be enjoying a day at the ballpark as they head to a Portland Sea Dogs Baseball Game! It’s a great way to celebrate the end of the year with classmates, enjoy America’s pastime, and make lasting memories.

Students should arrive at school at the regular time (7:35).  They will load the bus at 8:30. Students will return to KMS between 3:30-4:00.  A specific return time will be communicated that day via school messenger based on when the buses leave Portland to come back to KMS. Students can bring in an empty water bottle, sunscreen, a hat, and spending money if they would like something in addition to the lunch that is provided.  Backpacks are not allowed in the stadium.  Students who have inhalers should bring them and keep them with them.
