KMS remember, Every two weeks we will announce the homerooms that have handed in 100% of student absence notes. Those homerooms have no students that owe any absence notes from that two week time. Those winning homerooms will get a ticket entered into a raffle for a future pizza party. They will also be the homerooms that won the two-week race, so they get bragging rights for the next two weeks as we watch them cross the finish line ahead of the rest of the school.

Ms. Burton

Mrs. Warren

Mrs. Brenna

Mrs. Bevan
