KFMS 5th graders kicked off the year in our “Welcome to KFMS” rotation, spending the first six weeks learning school routines, expectations, and what it means to be a Bulldog.
From there, students moved into Walk to Math, where they get extra time each day to work on math skills at their individual level.
Coming this January, our 5th graders will transition into Walk to Reading to build strong literacy skills and continue their academic growth.
We’re proud of their hard work and excited to see them continue to learn and grow! 🐾📘📐

KFMS Teachers vs. KFMS ASB Board! 🏀
What started as a quick free-throw contest at our last ASB assembly turned into a hilarious, nail-biter of a competition. The teachers—armed with granny shots, questionable form, and a lot of luck—managed to pull off the win in the final seconds!
Several admitted they haven’t made a free throw in years… but today was their moment. 😄
When’s the last time YOU made a free throw? Let us know below! 👇🐾💙💛

KFMS Wrestlers Hit the Mat!
KFMS wrestlers have been working hard, and it showed at our home meet! Fans packed the gym to cheer on our 6th–8th grade athletes as they competed with grit and determination.
We celebrated several pins and impressive victories under the strong leadership of Coaches Steve Kenney and Monty Jones. Proud of our Bulldogs! 🤼🐾💛💙

KFMS 5th and 6th Graders Explore Thermal Energy
Our scientists are diving into their Thermal Energy unit! Students began their inquiry by comparing insulated and non-insulated cups to investigate heat transfer and the power of insulation.
Throughout the unit, they’ll use what they learn to explore how thermal energy moves in the world around us—and why it matters. Love seeing our Bulldogs thinking like real scientists! 🧪🔥🐾

A Friendly KFMS Baseball Bet… and a Big Win for Tyson! ⚾😄
All fall long, Tyson and Mrs. Vining went back and forth over who was better: the Yankees or the Mariners. The final showdown came down to the MVP race—Aaron Judge vs. Cal Raleigh—and Tyson came out on top!
As part of the deal, Mrs. Vining had to wear his Yankees jersey for the entire school day, and Tyson now gets bragging rights until Opening Day 2026.
Somewhere, Cal Raleigh is still the real MVP… but today, Tyson definitely was. #GoMariners #CalRealMVP

KFMS Evacuation Drill
This month, KFMS practiced an important safety drill—evacuating from the building to Gibson Field. An evacuation drill helps ensure students and staff know what to do if it ever becomes unsafe to remain on school grounds.
Although the rain tried to slow us down, it didn’t stop our students or our dedicated staff from completing the practice with focus and determination. In a real emergency, students would remain at Gibson Field until they were safely reunited with families through parent pick-up or bussed home.
Thank you for supporting our ongoing safety efforts as we work to keep our Bulldogs prepared and protected. 🐾💛💙

🎃 Pumpkin Launching in Science! 🚀
Mrs. Bolt’s 7th and 8th graders took on a Pumpkin Launcher Challenge this week! Using only rubber bands, tongue depressors, a plastic spoon, and a candy pumpkin, teams engineered mini-catapults to see who could launch the furthest.
Students saw science in action as potential energy turned into kinetic energy, and learned how small design changes affect force, motion, and distance.
A fun mix of creativity, teamwork, and hands-on learning! 🧪🐾

📚 Student-Led Conferences Are Coming! 🎉
KFMS students are hard at work preparing for Student-Led Conferences, and they can’t wait to share their learning with you! During conferences, students will take the lead—showing their work from each class, reflecting on their strengths and challenges, and sharing their current performance using our Effort Rubric.
Unlike traditional parent-teacher conferences, student-led conferences put students in the driver’s seat. They’ll share their goals for the year and revisit them in the spring to celebrate growth and reflect on progress.
We are excited for families to see the ownership, pride, and learning happening at KFMS! 🐾✨
