Texas Teachers of Tomorrow, is an organization matching Texas schools harmed from Hurricane Harvey and other school districts. We are teaming up with Patton Middle School in Unionville. This organization has provided us a list of supplies our matched school has requested. Our project is launching today and will run through Friday, October 13th. KMS will collect supplies, cash, and gift cards. All donations from BOTH schools will be sent to our matched junior high school in Texas in the name of Kennett Middle and Patton Middle.

Now over to a video created by our very own 8th grade student, Sarah Hetrick.

Have a Great Day KMS!

Last week, Kennett Middle School kicked-off the school year with its first assembly. Former federal cybercrime prosecutor and current cybersecurity lawyer Mr. Ed McAndrew provided an Internet safety presentation to each grade. The presentations explored the popular areas of our students’ online world, including online and mobile gaming, selfies, Snapchat, Instagram, YouTube, Kik, and Musical.ly, to name a few. Mr. McAndrew discussed the potential dangers that children face in the online world – including cyberbullying, hacking and malware that destroys devices, identity theft, and sexual exploitation – and strategies for avoiding and responding to them. The students also talked about the concept of digital privacy and the critical role that each of us must play in the responsible use of the wonderful technology at our fingertips.

Attention teachers and staff, Monday morning all of the showcases in the building will be unlocked. Please gather pictures and things that represent you to update your spot. Mrs. Matthews has name tags for every new adult in the building. If you can sneak down to the TV studio right after announcement to grab it that would be great. Stop by the PE office later today if that works better.
