🏊☀️ PE at the Pool! ☀️🏊
The last two days, KFMS PE classes traded the gym for the Kettle Falls City Pool! Students enjoyed walking to the pool, cooling off, and having fun with their classmates while staying active during PE.
A huge thank you to the City of Kettle Falls and the lifeguards who welcomed our students and helped make this experience safe, fun, and memorable. We appreciate the partnership and the opportunity to provide our students with a great end-of-year activity!

🎓 8th Grade Passages Have Begun at KFMS! 🎓
All 8th grade students at KFMS have officially begun preparing for their Passage Presentations before transitioning to KFHS this fall. Passages are an important tradition and milestone for our students as they reflect on their middle school journey and prepare for high school.
During the presentation, students meet with a community panel and demonstrate their growth in areas such as Mastery of Knowledge, High Quality Work, Character, and their aspirations for high school and beyond.
The presentation ends much like a job interview, with panelists asking students thoughtful questions about themselves, their goals, and their experiences.
Throughout the last quarter, students spend advisory time preparing, practicing, editing slideshows, refining presentations, and improving their overall performance. Students are evaluated using a detailed rubric that includes presentation skills, preparation, and professional dress.
We are excited to watch our students grow through this process and showcase all they have accomplished at KFMS. Stay tuned for completion photos next month! 🐾

Our 7th grade students took part in Build a Better World Day by helping care for both our community and environment! 💙🌎
After spending time picking up trash at a local beach area, students returned to school to learn more about plastic pollution and its impact on our environment. They then created informational and inspirational bookmarks about pollution awareness that will be shared in the library for other students to enjoy and learn from.
We are proud of our 7th graders for combining service, learning, and creativity to help make a positive difference!

Another successful Build a Better World Day project! 💙💛
Our 5th grade students painted kindness rocks and scattered them throughout the Kettle Falls community to brighten someone’s day with encouraging messages and colorful artwork.
If you happen to find one of their rocks around town, we’d love for you to snap a photo and reply to this post! 📸🪨
Thank you to our students for helping spread kindness throughout our community one rock at a time!

Build a Better World Day continued with our 6th grade students spreading positivity throughout Kettle Falls! 💙💛
The 6th grade classrooms spent the afternoon uptown hanging inspirational posters and positive messages around the community. Their goal was simple — brighten someone’s day and remind others that kindness, encouragement, and positivity matter.
Thank you to our 6th graders for using their creativity and teamwork to make our community a little brighter!

⛰️💙 Freshening Up the “KF” 💙⛰️
Every year, some of our KFMS 8th grade students take on the big task of hiking up to the “KF” on the hill to freshen it up as part of Build a Better World Day. This is no easy project — it’s a long, hot day full of hiking, weeding, and painting — but our students always rise to the challenge with teamwork and pride.
The “KF” is something our entire community sees and appreciates, and we are thankful for the hard work and dedication of our 8th grade students along with Mr. Flugel, Mr. Hansen, and Mr. Graves for leading the project.
If you get a chance, check it out and enjoy the fresh new look! We are proud of our Bulldogs for continuing this amazing tradition of service and community pride. 💛

🌎💙 Even the Littles Are Building a Better World 💙🌎
Our KFMS TTK students took part in Build a Better World Day by helping clean up their playground area at the middle school. Their special playground borders the baseball and softball fields, and somehow little pieces of trash can occasionally find their way into the area.
The students take great pride in their playground and were very serious about helping care for their space by picking up trash left behind by others. It was wonderful seeing our youngest learners show responsibility, teamwork, and pride in keeping their school beautiful.
These little Bulldogs are already learning that even small acts of service can make a big difference! 💛

💙💛 6th Grade Bulldogs Building a Better World 💛💙
Our KFMS 6th grade students spent Build a Better World Day spreading positivity throughout Kettle Falls! Students worked together to create posters and positive sayings that will be displayed around town to encourage and inspire others.
The posters will line Highway 395 to welcome visitors to our area, while student-designed labels will be placed on coffee cups and to-go containers at local businesses throughout the community. What an incredible way to share kindness, pride, and positivity with everyone who visits or lives in Kettle Falls!

🌎💙 Build a Better World Day at KFMS 💙🌎
Our KFMS 7th grade students headed to Lake Roosevelt today as part of KFSD’s Build a Better World Day service projects. Many of these students spend their summers swimming, relaxing, and making memories at this beach. Today, they gave back to a place they love by helping clean the beaches and pick up garbage to make it a place our entire community can continue to enjoy.
It was wonderful to see students working together, taking pride in their community, and understanding the value of service and stewardship. Their hard work and teamwork truly made a difference today!

💙💛 Build a Better World Day at KFSD 💛💙
Build a Better World Day is an annual tradition at KFSD and truly one of the best days of the school year! Students and staff across all grade levels at KFMS spent the day out in our community serving others, working together, and making a positive impact.
For the second year in a row, our 8th grade class designed and sold BBWD shirts and sweatshirts to the KFSD community to help raise funds for their end-of-the-year 8th grade trip. It has been incredible seeing students and staff proudly wearing their shirts while giving back to the community together.
Today was a great reminder of what makes KFMS special — kindness, responsibility, teamwork, service, and community pride.

🦸♂️🦸♀️ Unleash Your Super Powers! 💥📚
KFMS is in the middle of State Testing season! Our 5th and 8th grade students are taking tests in Science, Math, and English Language Arts, while our 6th and 7th grade students are taking Math and ELA assessments. With testing spread out over several weeks and built-in breaks, it takes almost three weeks to complete it all!
To kick things off with positivity and encouragement, Mrs. Hooper created a Super Hero testing theme for the school. Staff members started with a fun assembly skit reminding students to use their testing “Super Powers”:
💥 Read Carefully
💥 Show Your Work
💥 Never Give Up
💥 Stay Focused
Families also joined in by writing encouraging letters to their students, and Mrs. Hooper added special treats along the way — including mints because our students are “mint” for success! 🍬
Thank you to the entire KFMS staff for making this a celebration of learning and to all of our students for the hard work, perseverance, and positive attitudes they are showing throughout the month. We are proud of you! 💙💛

🎨✨ KFMS Artists Showing Their Superpowers! ✨🎨
Each year, students across the country participate in the Doodle 4 Google contest, where K–12 students create artwork inspired by a national theme for a chance to have their design featured on the Google homepage while also competing for scholarships and technology prizes. This year’s theme was “My Superpower Is…”
KFMS students submitted an incredible 29 logo entries to the competition! While we did not place among the national finalists selected from thousands of entries, we are extremely proud of the creativity, dedication, and hard work our students demonstrated throughout the process. Many students created multiple drafts and even worked at home to meet the contest deadline.
Our talented art students have also been busy with additional community design contests, including projects for the Colville Valley Animal Sanctuary and the KF Town & Country Days Slam Jam Basketball Tournament. Congratulations to Caitlyn and Yale, whose winning Slam Jam logo designs will be featured on t-shirts, social media, posters, and awards for the upcoming event! 🏀👏

🚣♀️ Paddle Safe Program @ KFMS 🚣♂️
Our 6th grade students were excited for their Paddle Safe field trip out to Colville Flats, led by Alyssa Smith and her team from Paddle Safe WA. While this year looked a little different—with low water levels at Lake Roosevelt making it unsafe to launch kayaks—our students still had an incredible learning experience!
Even without getting on the water, students gained valuable knowledge about water safety, practiced teamwork, and stayed engaged throughout the day. A special thank you to the Stevens County Sheriff's Office for sending a deputy to join us and support this important learning opportunity.
It was a fantastic day filled with learning, teamwork, and outdoor fun. We’re grateful for the partnerships that make experiences like this possible for our students! 💙💛 #KFMS #OutdoorLearning #PaddleSafe
