“Yesterday, the 8th grade volleyball team won against Pierce Middle School.

During the game, the following ladies served aces: Alex Seel, Lauren Markle, Lexi Cicconi, and Madison Weaver. Lexi Cicconi and Colette Frank were setting it up while Emma Schmidt was working hard to keep up with the team’s stats. Hannah Slicer and Dylan Wilkins had great spikes to the back row. Alana Boiaradi rose above the others with blocking and had a successful tip. Zara Quraishi, Carly Cicconi, and Mariella Aguilar had great passes from the back row. Team spirit was rallied by Paige Brown. The winning point was scored after Lauren Markle rolly-pollied allowing Alex Seel to free ball over for the kill.”

Another memorable day at Kennett Middle School yesterday…

Betsy the Cow joined us for a live drawing lab in art classes. Our always adventurous and ever-remarkable KMS art teachers with the help of the father of seventh grade student, Penny Romanelli, arranged for Betsy to spend the day at KMS. Betsy is a 4 month old calf who weighs about 180 pounds.

The live drawing lab has become a tradition in Mrs. Uhl’s and Ms. Conner’s art classes featuring animals such as ducks, bunnies, a pig, horses, goats, an owl, a parrot, rats, and chickens. What an awesome experience for our students!
