Attention KMS…6th Graders, 7th Graders, and 8th Graders! Here is the final clue to reveal the title of the 2019 KMS Musical.

Clue #5: This year’s colorful show, written by Tim Rice and Andrew Lloyd Webber, was originally written as a 15-minute musical for a school. Sting’s first performance gig was playing bass in the pit for the full version of the on-stage musical. And just in case you aren’t sure yet, Donny Osmond played an AMAZING lead for many years on stage and in the 1999 movie.

Yes, Virginia, there is a Santa Claus…AND, yes, KMS, the musical this year is Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dream Coat.

All students interested in performing on stage or working back stage on Stage Crew should listen carefully to these important details and dates:

All stage performers: Actors, singers, dancers, and tumblers: The meetings to teach you how to be prepared for auditions are Thursday, January 3rd and Friday, January 4th after school from 2:35-4:30 in the cafeteria. You should attend one meeting, but you may attend both to be more confident and feel more prepared for your audition. If you do not attend one of these meetings, you may not be best prepared to audition. Everyone who performs on stage must audition, but everyone who auditions will be invited to perform in Joseph in May.

Students interested in working on Stage Crew: You must attend ONE of the meetings on Thursday, January 3rd ORFriday, January 4th after school from 2:35-3:45 in the cafeteria. At this meeting you will hear from Mrs. Coe what the different roles are and what is done back stage. You will pick your top 3 role choices.

There will also be an informational meeting for parents of students interested in auditioning or joining Stage Crew on Tuesday, January 8 at 6:30pm. This meeting is primarily for parents of students interested in the KMS Musical for the first time, but all parents are welcome. Parents, please come with questions.

If you have any questions, please see or contact Mrs. Uster or Mrs. Coe as soon as possible. Watch the movie and have a great Break everyone!

Have an awesome Friday and a restful and refreshing break. Make sure you check skyward to make up any missing assignments so you can turn them in upon return.

Students, we need to think about the schedule. We end this week after today on day 1. When we return to school on Wednesday, January 2nd it will be a day 2. That’s easy to remember January 2nd, day 2. We will have exactly 2 weeks until the end of the second marking period. Term 4 will wrap up the second marking period on Wednesday, January 16th.

Congratulations to the 8th grade girls basketball team on their 2 strong wins Friday and Yesterday.

Kennett WON 20-14. With Brittany Sedano, the Ice Queen, going 3 for 4 from the line as the clock was ticking down.

Yesterday Kennett beat Chi-Chester 40-22. The offense was led by the 1 ,2 punch of Lusvardi and Kelly who combined for half of Kennett’s offense. 7 players total contributed on the offensive end – including the first bucket for Emily Althouse. Megan Ward held down the paint on the defensive end shutting down their 6’2” center.
