Attention KMS Students: There are only 2 more days of Red Ribbon Week remaining so let’s make them count. There is nothing better than a good friend, and we hope that you and a good friend took the time to match outfits today. Please sit with your friend at lunch so we can see your creativity and friendship! Everybody needs a Partner Against Crime, and even if you aren’t twinning with someone today, you should always have the strength to step up and protect your friends in difficult situations! Don’t be a partner in crime…be a partner against crime! Also, Tomorrow is Wear Red Day. Show your commitment to staying drug and alcohol free by wearing something red to school. Wear red socks…or a red sweater. Pick out your outfit tonight so you don’t forget.
