🎃 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! 🧪🐾

🎃 Monster Math Battle in Jr. High! 👾📐
Our 7th grade KFMS students took on a Halloween Monster Math Battle in class! Students solved math problems to defeat monsters in a game that felt like a mix between D&D and Sorry. The best part? Every question card was hand-created to match our current math unit—making it the ultimate review!
Learning + Halloween fun = a win! 🧠🍬

📚 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! 🐾✨

Our 5th graders are loving their new digs — especially at recess and PE! 🎉
Mr. Flugel has been keeping things active and fun by teaching new games and setting up 4-Square rules outside. During PE, students have been diving into favorites like 3-Ball, Body Rock, Paper & Scissors, and Castle Rock — learning teamwork, strategy, and sportsmanship along the way. It’s shaping up to be an amazing year of play, movement, and connection at KFMS! 💪🏽🏃♀️🏐

✨ Welcome to KFMS! ✨
Students spend over 12% of their year at school, yet only 35% said last spring that they enjoy coming each day. This year, our staff is making a deliberate effort to greet students every morning, build positive relationships, and create a strong sense of belonging. We want KFMS to be a place where every student feels connected, supported, and excited to come each day! 💙🐾

Poetry in Motion at KFMS! ✍️📚
Mrs. Keedy’s students explored “voice” in poetry today through a fun game called “Pass the Poem.” Working in groups, they took turns adding lines to create poems with humor and personality.
Here are two of their creations:
I dropped my sandwich yesterday,
on a sandy beach.
It tastes like a sandy sandwich now.
Aliens stole my cat,
and I think they also stole my rat.
How dreadful it seems
to have such bad dreams.
Poetry is alive and full of laughter in Mrs. Keedy’s class! 🌟

Exploring New Interests at KFMS! 🌟
This fall, most KFMS students get to choose an Opps Elective class—and the variety is amazing! Students are staying active with gym games, learning to knit, writing poetry, creating art, expanding their vocabulary through games, playing Munchkins, exploring Botany, and even challenging themselves in Algebra.
At KFMS, learning goes beyond the classroom—there’s something for every student to discover! 🎨📚🌿🏀
