Thursday, December , 2016 Day 6

Congratulations to the 6th grade chorus. You had a great performance last night.

Attention KMS! TODAY is the DAY for the musical to be revealed…

This year’s musical is not always “Rosie” especially when Mrs. Peterson comes on the scene. It’s all about “Kids” and their obsessions for “Conrad Birdie, the character who was inspired by the story of Elvis Presley being drafted into the Army in 1957.

Most of you have already guessed AND are correct! This year’s KMS Musical is Bye, Bye Birdie.

Over break, you would be wise to watch the 1995 version with Vanessa Williams and Jason Alexander. Study it! Know it! Sing it!

Students interested in performing on stage MUST attend one of the 2 meetings on Thursday, January 5th and Friday, January 6th. At these meetings, actors will learn what to prepare for auditions. The 2 meetings will be the same, and you may come to both to be better prepared for your audition. Students who are planning to audition to perform on stage must stay from 2:35-4:30.

Students interested in joining the Stage Crew MUST attend ONE of the meetings on Thursday, January 5th OR Friday, January 6th. At these meetings, Stage Crew will learn about the back stage roles and will petition for their preferred positions. Students that are interested in joining Stage Crew must stay from 2:35-3:45.

“KIDS”, If you have any questions about the musical, the upcoming meetings, or auditions, please see or email Mrs. Uster or Mrs. Coe.

We are still collecting toys to donate to families less fortunate. Please bring your donations into the main office.

Attention all students working on the children’s book project.

Mrs. Uhl needs an early Christmas present, if you have not shown her any work

recently PLEASE stop by the art room before the holiday break and show her your work!

Thanks!

(Have a great Holiday Break KMS.)

KMS Appreciates the New Garden Police

In the spirit of the season, students in Kennett Middle School’s ESL program were recently reading a Christmas Carol and analyzing the character of Scrooge. The class had many discussions about the importance of giving back to others and, as a result, they decided to do a community service project. Before this project, they had many conversations about how the New Garden Police Department provides resources for them as individuals and for the school as a whole. Together, the students decided that the township police were the perfect candidate for the community service project.

After receiving an officer’s name, each student decorated a Christmas ornament and Christmas card to give to that officer. The best part of the project was definitely the officers coming to visit the students. The students were so excited and it made a big impact to see how appreciative the officers were.

Adopt a Family 2016!

What an exciting year we are having! We just wrapped up our fundraising for this year’s Adopt a Family events. Each grade decides on a fun way for teachers, students, and the PTO to raise money for families in need. We are so excited to have raised around $3,700, enough money this year to support 22 families! WOW!

The sixth grade had a dance during 8th and 9th periods in the cafeteria. The students and teachers sang and danced the afternoon away. Here are a few pictures of the fun.

The seventh grade students took on the teachers in a game show called, “Are You Smarter Then Your 7th Grade Teacher?” Students and teachers took turns answering pop culture and other fun questions.

The eighth grade students met the teachers on the volleyball court! We had a fun afternoon of listening to music and watching great games. Students put in money for chances to play the teachers and then the girls volleyball team finished out the day with their wicked serve. We had a blast! Here are a few pictures so you can see the fun for yourself.

Way to go Kennett Middle School! Our students and staff are committed to making a difference.
